Running SnowLeopard, upgraded XCode and reinstalled latest version of MacPorts, was trying to follow the migration suggestions but cannot get past uninstalling

Perhaps the problem is line 10 of the log file:
:debug:uninstall Logging disabled, error opening log file: can't read "portpath": no such variable
What does this mean?

In the meantime, this is the workaround I used
port installed > myports.txt cat myports.txt | xargs sudo port -fp uninstall

Replying to macporter90210@…:
In the meantime, this is the workaround I used
port installed > myports.txt cat myports.txt | xargs sudo port -fp uninstall
Which is exactly equivalent to sudo port -fp uninstall installed; i.e. the only difference is not using --follow-dependents. Maybe there was a dependency loop in your registry?
Since 2.0.2, ports will be uninstalled in dependency order anyway, so I've removed --follow-dependents from the instructions. That's probably all that can be done without a reproducible test case.
