The selfupdate reported that MacPorts base is already the latest version.
Yes, but it also updated your port definitions, although it does not tell you that in the current version of MacPorts. (It will in the next version.) Dozens of ports are updated every day.
After then executing the upgrade the file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib now exists.
Great! Glad it's working now. Apparently "something" went wrong when you built zlib the last time, but since the current version of MacPorts does not keep logs of what it did, we have no way of knowing what that was.
I am slightly wary of continuing with the install command as I have a working version of MySQL and do not want to break it particularly as I have a live project on the go. Hopefully the install command would now run through to completion.
Agreed, changing a live system is tricky. If you're interested in MacPorts, consider setting it up on a test system first to get familiar with it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23057#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
