Using Xcode 16.4 with Command Line Tools for Xcode 16.4 on M1 Mac mini running
macOS Sequoia 15.5 the self update gives the following error:
[...]

Welcome to the RSYNC daemon on ftp.fau.de.
NOTE: This is where 'rsync.macports.org' resolves to via 2 CNAMEs...
If you desperately need an update to work for now, you will need to look for
another MacPorts mirror and configure your installation to use it.
Not all of our mirrors are available through rsync.
rsync: [sender] change_dir "/release/tarballs" (in macports) failed: Permission
denied (13)
rsync(1647): warning: receiver has empty file list: exiting
And if you go to https://ftp.fau.de you will see all of the mirrors served there,
including MacPorts, but the MacPorts link gets a "403 Forbidden" error, which
often just means the directory is gone.
So this is a global error.
Chiming in here, seeing these errors locally that just presented today:
