    207   Be sure you have the latest MacPorts before removing `portuninstall.tcl`. I had the same problem that I couldn't uninstall ports and so I first ran a `sudo port selfupdate` to get the latest version of MacPorts and removed the tcl file afterwards. But when running `sudo port -f selfupdate` it gave me this error message: `Failed to initialize ports system, couldn't read file "/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portuninstall.tcl": no such file or directory` and stopped working.
