Current master fails on first sync with a new installation

[Zabolekar (Stanislav Syekirin)]

The system is Sequoia on Apple Silicon. I'm trying to test the latest macports from github (commit a472c5a2c11c3b4d):

git clone https://github.com/macports/macports-base.git
cd macports-base
./configure --prefix=/opt/master
make
sudo make install
sudo /opt/master/bin/port -v selfupdate > selfupdate.log

And here's what happens:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time    Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent   Left  Speed
100    63  100    63    0     0   1373      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  1400
Error: Failed to extract ports tree from tarball: command execution failed
Error: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source failed
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.
Error: /opt/master/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source failed

I had to redirect most of the output to a file because it's extremely long. Find the file attached.
