Re: Cannot do anything with port - upgrade, uninstall not possible

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

Thats because you starting following the instructions *after* upgrading, not 
before.

You need to reinstall macports over the top of your current installation, to 
update to the binary to that for your current system, then try again.

Following the instructions of migrating macports is a dead end to me right now.
