$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
--- Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error
synchronizing MacPorts sources: shell command failed (see log for
details)
$ sudo port sync
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
