I have a persistent issue with MacPorts 1.5.0. selfupdate to 1.520 fails on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.10. Multiple reinstalls of MacPorts 1.5.0 have not solved it. Incidentally, although I've moved all the directories named in the FAQ for uninstalling, I notice that the installer UI's last screen button text always says "Upgrade", not "Install", though the panel body text says "...perform a basic installation...". Other MacPorts 1.5.0 installations on two PowerPC PowerBook G4s on the same LAN (one Titanium running 10.3.9, one Aluminum running 10.4.10) managed to selfupdate to 1.520 correctly. I guess it's unlikely that it's an Intel-only bug -- it would have been spotted long ago -- so I guess there's something wrong with where/how I have curl installed on the MBP. Here's the error message:

I've scanned this lists archive, I've tried the verbose switch, I've turned off Little Snitch, I've read every word on the MacPorts wiki. Any ideas would be gratefully received.
