I tried looking through the mailing list archives and didn't see my big issue covered. Basically I've installed version 1.320 and get the following error when I try to run the selfupdate:

Marshall-Rodriquezs-Computer:/opt/local/bin marshallrodriquez$ sudo ./port selfupdate

DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed

Error: ./port: selfupdate failed: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.macports.org _dpupdate1/base/config/dp_version": no such file or directory

I checked and the folder is there, though there is a space in it which seems to be the disconnect. Is that supposed to be there?

Where is there a space? The path "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.macports.org_dpupdate1/base/config/dp_version" should exist without any spaces in it. (My email program will probably insert some into this message, but there shouldn't be any.)

The space is "macports.org _dpupdate1". It's in the error message and in the folder name, so it seems like it's deliberate, but it doesn't allow things to work. I'll try looking through the source and see if it's there somewhere.

Have you manually edited the file /opt/local/etc/ports/ports.conf to reference rsync.macports.org? If so, check if there is a space after "rsync.macports.org" in the relevant line; if so, remove it.
