 Updated MacPorts today by

 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 Upgrading outdated ports failed when installing libiconv @1.14_0 with the
 following error:

 {{{
 --->  Installing libiconv @1.14_0
 Error: Target org.macports.install returned: /usr/bin/tar: +CONTENTS: Not
 found in archive
 /usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
 Log for libiconv is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_libiconv/libiconv/main.log
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
 }}}

 I have tried the following to fix the problem

 {{{
 sudo rm
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/libiconv/libiconv-1.14_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2
 sudo port clean libiconv
 sudo port install libiconv
 }}}

 and the problem persists.  I am unable to update or install other ports
 because of this problem.  Is there a way to bypass installing libiconv?

 Relevant sections of the log file follow, the entire log file is attached.
