port selfupdate: “macPorts sources: command execution failed”

Question

I am trying to selfupdate my Macports, but I am getting the following message:

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizi         


        

Answer 1

I faced the same issue.But I used to this method in the after.

Go to: $prefix/etc/macports/sources.conf (my path is like this):

/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf 

comment out the rsync entry, and add a new entry as follows:

#rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
https://distfiles.macports.org/ports.tar.gz [default]

After that you can run:

sudo port -d sync
