I don't now if it's a local or a remote error with certificates.

DEBUG: openssl output: couldn't create error file for command: no such file or directory

Well those messages aren't normal. Does running sw_vers at the command line work?

Yes, and sw_cers output is :

ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.6.8
BuildVersion:	
10K549

I think there is someting wrong on this particular system, since I succefully "selfupdated" another macport installation on a 10.6.8 system. But I can't figure what is this particular problem.

I beleive /opt/local/share/macports/macports-pubkey.pem is the good one on this system I try to clean up downloaded things under /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs and repair system permissions but nothing worked

Every things are back to normal this morning after a complete system reboot.

If only Mac OS X could avoid Windows behaviour ...
