Cannot Run Selfupdate

[andy@…]

I just upgrade a Yosemite computer to El Capitan. As part of this, I upgraded my macports with the .pkg installer, deleted my existing ports, and tried to reinstall.

I was given a message that I should run selfupdate, which gave an error of "port selfupdate failed". I set up macports on a new machine with El Capitan just last week with minimal issues, so I figured there was an issue with residual Yosemite macports junk remaining. So, I did a complete uninstall as recommended, and installed again from the .pkg file.

The error I'm getting is:

> sudo port selfupdate
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
Error: Failed to verify signature for MacPorts source!
Please run `port -v selfupdate' for details.
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Failed to verify signature for MacPorts source!

Using the -v flag as suggested, I get:

Finally, running the -d flag gives the following:

If it helps, I've tried doing a selfupdate on the machine I set up successfully last week, and it gives the same error. Is there something about the SSL certificate that needs to be updated?
