2. If I am doing a sync, how can it be that I haven't synced my source indexes? Your ISP or firewall is blocking the actual process, otherwise it would just work, as you expected. You can see this by repeating your command with the debug flag (sudo port -d selfupdate). Please consider

Yeah, likely a firewall. The policy here is block everything first and ask questions later. I'll try again when I get home. Thank you. Suggestion: add you may be behind a firewall to the error message. :) Thank you! - Bruce On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 11:34 AM, Jeremy Lavergne
