Dreaded error back - Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

Unsure how this started. Maybe I've munged something.

Someone let me know if this is something for me to fix or a real bug.

Read through past tickets relating to this. Tried lots of things. No joy.

port clean all - works.

port clean of one package works...

Hum... I did update Xcode command tools recently. Unsure if this is my first port clean since the update.

Darn it... forgot the escaping of the second port command.

Trac syntax bites rocks.

You did not specify a port name with your clean command.
