ALCON:Recently a number of ports required for GNOME programs were broken for PowerPC (G3/4/5) platforms (for about half these ports, this break was from fixing problems on the Intel platform). I am attempting to track down working fixes for these ports and hope to have everything fixed by 10 Feb 07.We apologize for these problems.If anyone has suggestions about how to avoid this situation in the future, other than requiring that maintainers (who are all volunteers) test their ports on both PowerPC and Intel platforms (a requirement that most of us can't afford to meet for both time and money reasons), please feel free to chime in with a suggestion.
Did you rebuild all of the affected components? Nearly all of the changes added explicit dependencies on MacPorts-provided libraries, to prevent the symbol duplication that required compiler flags that broke Intel builds. It's possible that with remaining libraries hauling in duplicate symbols on your system, the new compiler flags broke in new and interesting ways.
