More precisely, you could not install texlive-base because of the 
following error.

This has come up a couple of days ago on this list in the thread "failed 
compiling texlive-base (error on udmap)". There the failure was due to a 
file /sw/etc/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg that must have remained from 
a previous installation. If you have this file, too, then

1. Try to find out if it belongs to some installed package:

   dpkg -S texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg

2. Then either remove that package or, if there is none that admits 
owning this file, remove that web2c folder by hand:

   sudo rm -rf /sw/etc/texmf-config/web2c/

Then build and install texlive-base again.
