Hi - I'm trying to selfupdate an antique version of darwinports, and when I do sudo port -d selfupdate I get an error: Selfupdate failed: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate1/base/dp_version": no such file or directory
this is understandable, because my version of darwinports is antique on this machine (I (badly, very badly) haven't touched it for a long time) and as the comment for revision http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/15358 states the dp_version file has moved. If I duplicate from base/config/dp_version to base/dp_version, then the sync will remove it... clearly I just need to make install (or something similar - I'm bit vague on such authentic unixness) for the actual port command itself (without syncing and checking versions and so on. but not sure how/where to do this. Alternatively I could reinstall, but don't want the new darwinports to forget about the state of my existing ports... advice appreciated! (also, perhaps relevant? I was running panther, but have upgraded to tiger recently, and wondered if that might have any influence on the matter?) thanks Tim
