Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

After installing MacPorts 2.0.1 on a new machine (i.e. no prior version installed,) I get the following error messages in trying to access the port command for anything: 

couldn't read file "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/macports_fastload.tcl": too many levels of symbolic links
    while executing
"source [file join "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl" macports1.0 macports_fastload.tcl]"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 37)

In examining /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0, I find that it is a symlink that points to /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0, in other words, a circular link.
