And ... that's it.

According to "selfupdate" I'm not completely broken.

Replying to jhi:

$ sudo port upgrade outdated

And ... that's it.

That could happen if there is a circular dependency in your outdated ports. MacPorts doesn't support circular dependencies, but sometimes they are accidentally introduced into the ports tree.

What are your outdated ports?

port outdated

Closing due to lack of response. Hopefully we fixed the circular dependency somewhere along the way. If not, please reopen the ticket and provide the output I requested above. Enabling debug output (sudo port -d upgrade outdated) might also help us pinpoint which ports are causing the problem.
