New description:

 When I run port at the terminal prompt I get the following:

 {{{
 ''
 can't find package Pextlib 1.0
     while executing
 "package require Pextlib 1.0"
     (procedure "mportinit" line 365)
     invoked from within
 "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, can't find
 package Pextlib 1.0''
 }}}


 When I search with spotlight I find pextlib 1.0 in:
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macportsorg/release/base/src/pextlib1.0
 as well as in:
 /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0

 Can anyone tell me why port might not be able to find it?

 I installed version 1.5.0 from the package installer from the disk image
 MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg

Comment (by jmpp at macports.org):

 Please reinstall MacPorts (either from the dmg or from source) and then
 run selfupdate to upgrade to our latest release. Report back here with new
 findings and please close the ticket if the problem goes away (in short,
 everything looks as expected on your system --at least with respect to the
 information you provided, which might not be enough-- so I don't see why
 you're getting this failure).
