-Versions of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install packages on Mavericks because of a missing `/usr/bin/gnutar`. The solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts. Run `sudo port -f selfupdate` or [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source build from source]. Do '''not''' create a symlink named `/usr/bin/gnutar` pointing to a different version of tar or a version of gnutar you installed using MacPorts or yourself.
+Versions of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install packages on Mavericks because of a missing `/usr/bin/gnutar`. The solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts using the [https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg installer for Mavericks]. Do '''not''' create a symlink named `/usr/bin/gnutar` pointing to a different version of tar or a version of gnutar you installed using MacPorts or yourself.
 
 Ensure you have at least the command line tools installed by running `xcode-select --install` from a Terminal. Make sure to also run this even if you have Xcode installed, because you will otherwise see an error message about MacPorts not being able to find Tcl.
