p5.12-svn-simple : Warning: SVN::Core missing or outdated

[jan.pingel@…]

I'm encountering '===> Warning: SVN::Core missing or outdated.' on 10.8 with XCode 4.4 trying to install git-core +svn

Mikuru:oyster jpingel$ perl -MSVN::Core -e 'print $SVN::Core::VERSION."\n";' 
1.7.5 
Mikuru:oyster jpingel$ port info subversion-perlbindings
subversion-perlbindings @1.7.5, Revision 1 (devel, perl)

Uninstalling subversion and subversion-perlbindings and then reinstalling has not helped and I encountered the same failure with subversion-perlbindings +universal when trying to install p5.12-svn-simple for git-core +svn.

I'm running the latest macports according to selfupdate and all outdated ports have been upgraded:

Mikuru:oyster jpingel$ sudo port selfupdate 
---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync 
MacPorts base version 2.1.2 installed, 
MacPorts base version 2.1.2 downloaded. 
---> Updating the ports tree 
---> MacPorts base is already the latest version

This system was upgraded from 10.7.x to 10.8 upon release and at the time I went through the steps of uninstalling and reinstalling macports as outlined on the migration wiki page and haven't had any issues with other ports.
