I originally installed from the 1.3.1-1 DMG file from darwinports.org. Install seemed to go ok, however when I tried to selfupdate, it failed. I went back to darwinports.org, which had transitioned to macports.org by this time. I then downloaded the 1.3.2 tarball, built it, and installed it. Again, seemed to work fine.
However, it just can't selfupdate. I've been getting the same error everytime, with the DMG build, and the one I built from source. I did a system software update Friday night and tried again, with no different results if that makes a difference. Here's a console session with my error:

Maybe this applies? http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2006-September/ 000212.html I had to change darwinports.org to macports.org in the files mentioned before selfupdate would work again for me. To the MacPorts people: is every DarwinPorts user supposed to have to change those files manually or should it happen automatically somehow?
