What I would mainly like to know now is: what is the state of my MacPorts installation? Can I continue to use it to install and upgrade ports, or is it screwed until I address this issue? (How? By creating a dummy /opt/local/bin/prove file?) I tried rebuilding ghostscript, and it seemed to work (though it again displayed "Updating database of binaries" and the same error as above.


Also obviously I would want this issue fixed before the release of MacPorts 2.1.0 so others do not run into it.
