MacPorts Breaks After Trying to Remove Corrupt Archive

I’m a big fan of package management systems for installing and managing everything on a *nix system. From portupgrade on FreeBSD to yum/RPM on RedHat, I use the package management system to install and maintain everything I possibly can. On OS X, I’ve been using MacPorts back since they were Darwin Ports, and before that I was using Fink. MacPorts closely resembles portupgrade on FreeBSD. MacPorts is generally excellent, especially because everything is tucked away in opt, so if I ever decide that I don’t want MacPorts around anymore, I have one place to go to get rid of everything.
