Error: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed

[kruger@…]

Dear Macports,

I have a MAC with the latest Maverick installed. I installed Macports according to ​https://www.ghostwheel.com/merlin/Personal/notes/2013/10/05/macports-on-mavericks/

I think the problem is that I do not know how to do point 8 (Re-install your ports.) after the installation.

When I run: sudo port -v selfupdate

I get the following error:

Gerts-iMac-2:~ gertkruger$ sudo port -v selfupdate Password: ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-42/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9] Command failed: /usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base.tar /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs Exit code: 10 Error: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
