+After a fresh installation of MacPorts 1.6.0, the `.profile` is not set up as it should be, with the consequence that the shell says the `port` command is not found when you try to use it. This is [ticket:13742 a bug in the 1.6.0 installer]. It will be fixed in the next release of MacPorts.

+== Fetch failures ==
 
 If fetch failed for a port, you can still get the distfile from anywhere else. Maybe the homepage of the software lists alternative download locations for source tarballs. Just download the distfile and save it to `${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/<portname>/`. Make sure you get a file with exactly the same name (watch out for `.tar.gz` and `.tar.bz2`!) If a `port clean --all` has been done the distfile directory will have been removed. The directory for each port is created at the beginning of the fetch phase.
