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

If your company block the access via rsync you can use the http tarball. Explained here

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Now prefer to use homebrew
