	Though I have tested the sed calls that update the conf files  
extensively, could I please ask you to double check your macports.conf  
and sources.conf file? Is everything alright in them? Compare them to  
how files off a fresh trunk installation would look:

http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/base/doc/sources.conf
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/base/doc/macports.conf.in 
   (after autoconfiscation of course, with keyword substitution in)

	Eeerrrr.. I simply did not think about deleting them, keeping them  
around as a "just in case" measure just as the conf files .mpsaved  
backups. I could include a deleting rule in a future release or even  
in this one if people prefer, but personally I rather keep them for  
the time being. No matter how much I've tested this (thankfully with  
all reported failures, very few to begin with, already corrected), I'm  
still messing around with already installed software so I prefer to  
stick to the "better safe than sorry!" mindframe.
