Hello,
Three ports depended on render, namely: xorg-renderproto, cairo, and xrender. I did a "sudo port -nf" for each. I then followed with a "sudo port selfupdate" and got the following error:

Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed

I then ran "sudo port -d selfupdate" which resulted in no error. I suspect MacPorts had a hard time with the sync of render after the delinking. I do not know yet if the executed procedure remove the error. I am running "sudo port upgrade installed" now to verify if the error disappeared. This will also see if the resync addressed the textlive issue. The fix may not have been put in between the last sync and the current one. I run the selfupdate before each upgrade run to ensure the latest for upgrading.

Some port you have installed was installed when the render port existed. It has since been superseded by the xorg-renderproto port. "port dependents render" might tell you what port still has knowledge of the old render port. "port -nf upgrade thatport" might fix its dependencies so that it forgets about the render port.

Does anyone have an idea of what is going on. I had started a sudo port
-d upgrade installed; but, with all the repeated checks, it takes
forever to run because this occurs towards the end of the process. Any
suggestions on a quicker way to find out what is occurring?

        In any case, what is MacPorts doing at this juncture?

I thought it might be this:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16085

But that was fixed in 1.7.1 which you said you have... So I'm not sure.

It probably has to do with using "port upgrade installed" instead of "port upgrade outdated". So use the latter in the future.
