A quirk with Python24

Dear fellow DarwinPorts tribe,

>From the suggestions yesterday, I installed a fresh copy of Darwin Ports
1.2.1 from CVS and started to work with it. I have been installing on a UFS
disc volume. So far so good (except for the gnome-vfs / gnome problems).
However, something odd just happened to me. I tried to install the python24
port for the first time moments ago and the reaction was a bit unexpected
(bottom line is that it did not activate). The failure was reported on the
command line in that a file existed that prevented the installation.

When I initially ran install, I did not use the "-v" command-line option so
after the failure, I purposefully tried to uninstall. To capture more
information, after uninstalling, I ran install a second time with the "-v"
option. Funny thing is, the activation after installing the second time
worked perfectly with zero complaints (and I can run python24 from my shell
perfectly).

The results are pasted below. Anyone know why the activation problem
probably occurred?

Thanks,

T.
