I can't see where I removed anything ?!?

++ completely new install of MacPorts from source
++ don't install anything at all after base install
++ immediately switch to use svn as described

PATH has been set correctly _before_ install of base

In my experience, switching between rsync & svn still picks up whatever
has been installed under either regime as everything installed gets
consolidated into the same database no matter which repository is used &
which method is used to get the Portfiles.

To me, what seems to happen is, that /usr/bin/svn is able to pull the
first download of the Portfiles, but subsequently upon /port sync/
discovers that it's actually pulled something it's not qualifed to work
with.
