MacPorts @master: can't set "portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(mirrorone)": parent namespace doesn't exist

[aeiouaeiouaeiouaeiouaeiouaeiou]

I have configuration to receive a tarball of portfiles via a mirror. After installing the master branch, I can't test updates locally:

I want to test and use a different mirror because I'm having some serious internet issues where I live right now.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Issues that have not existed in a release don't need a milestone.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

In 0924d612e1245b3e33874785f81cfe73e9f1fc8a/macports-base (master):

get_archive_sites_conf_values: fully qualify names

These were resolved relative to the current namespace in Tcl 9.

Closes: #73861
