Sorry for such an stupid question… I was running an older MacPorts version on my High Sierra and wanted to upgrade the version just installing the newest one (MacPorts-2.9.1-10.13-HighSierra.pkg <https://github.com/macports/macports-base/releases/download/v2.9.1/MacPorts-2.9.1-10.13-HighSierra.pkg>) existing for my iMac. I did it and and it was made with getting no errors or warnings.
However, after this installation I only see that there appeared a new directory called /opt/local/var/, but the existing executables are still the old ones (the ones existing in the old /opt/local/bin directory. And when I try to run “sudo port selfupdate” I get the following error: ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync Error: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed Please run `port -v selfupdate' for details. Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed Rerunning it with the -v option I get exactly the same error and my question is: What can I do to have the newest MacPorts binaries being upgraded? Any help would be kindly appreciated….
