I know for a fact that portfiles are update in the lat few days. I've no idea why updating is failing your help is appreciated. I'm running the latest version of MacOS X (10.4.9) on a MacBook Pro.
There's nothing wrong here. "sudo port selfupdate" is the same thing as "sudo port sync", only that it also updates your base MacPorts installation if necessary. MacPorts 1.320 is the latest version of MacPorts base, which you already have, so it did not update it. And just like "sudo port sync", it has synchronized your ports tree. Now you can say things like "port outdated" to see which ports might be outdated, and use "sudo port upgrade <portname>" to upgrade them.
I'm quite familiar with DarwinPorts/MacPorts and with the semantics of the commands above. What I find hard to believe is that no portfile got updated in the last four or five days. E.g. I submitted an updated portfile for SWI-Prolog that got committed March 20 but so far the command above failed to retrieve it. I suspect some problem upstream related to server synchronization. Thanks anyway for your feedback.
