Thanks. I cleaned MailtoMutt and then got messages about work folders in several other ports. So, I cleaned all of them except aqua/NmapFE would fail to be cleaned. If I ls -lA the directory, ls prints "invalid argument", and shows it without an indication of where the link is linked to. Also cd work would print "invalid argumet". So I deleted it and selfupdate works now.

That's interesting. It looks like rsync is complaining because you have a work directory in your MailtoMutt folder. However, doing a selfupdate should blow away the work directory.

Try doing a `sudo port clean MailtoMutt` and selfupdating again. See if that fixes it.

I thought I'd check again. Does anyone know what this problem is, or how to avoid it?

I have macports 1.320. When I self port -d selfupdate it prints:

Do you know what that means or how to make it stop failing?
