I have a persistent issue with MacPorts 1.5.0.
selfupdate to 1.520 fails on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.10.
Multiple reinstalls of MacPorts 1.5.0 have not solved it.
Incidentally, although I've moved all the directories named in the
FAQ for uninstalling, I notice that the installer UI's last screen
button text always says "Upgrade", not "Install", though the panel
body text says "...perform a basic installation...".
That's only because a receipt is still in /Library/Receipts. We
should update the uninstall instructions to include removing the
receipt.
Other MacPorts 1.5.0 installations on two PowerPC PowerBook G4s on
the same LAN (one Titanium running 10.3.9, one Aluminum running
10.4.10) managed to selfupdate to 1.520 correctly.
I guess it's unlikely that it's an Intel-only bug -- it would have
been spotted long ago -- so I guess there's something wrong with
where/how I have curl installed on the MBP.
Here's the error message:

I've googled the error message several times over the last month,
hoping someone else might have had (and solved) the same problem,
but without luck. I've scanned this lists archive, I've tried the
verbose switch, I've turned off Little Snitch, I've read every word
on the MacPorts wiki. Any ideas would be gratefully received.
I recommend you do not attempt to use both Fink and MacPorts at the
same time. Pick one, and uninstall the other. Having both is known to
cause weird problems, unless you know exactly what you're doing.
