This should have been fixed recently; try running sudo port selfupdate, then clean and try again.

Replying to egall@…:

This should have been fixed recently; try running sudo port selfupdate, then clean and try again.

The selfupdate said I was already up to date, but I continued with a clean --all vile and clean glib2, and it has now built successfully.

Thanks. This ticket can now be closed. Warren.

Probably the selfupdate said MacPorts base was up to date, and that it also updated your portfiles. MacPorts base changes infrequently; portfiles change constantly.

Duplicate of #39246.
