If you interrupted it, run "sudo port selfupdate" now and let it finish what it was doing. The error you show is a user error. You've asked MacPorts to clean all aspects, but you haven't told it what port(s) to clean all aspects of. If you wanted to clean all aspects of all ports, the correct command would be "sudo port clean --all all". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49600#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
