Hello,
	Tried:

		 sudo port -d selfupdate

and got the following error:

Franks-Power-Mac-G4:~ frank$ sudo port -d selfupdate
DEBUG: MacPorts sources location: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/ 
rsync.macports.org/release/base

shell command "/usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after rsync://

"macports::selfupdate [array get global_options] base_updated"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error

	I do not know where the log is. I did have to repair permissions and  
wonder if something got clobbered.
