New description:

 I completely removed my old mac-ports version and I could not re-install a
 new one.

 The installation always failed with:

 "This package is meant to be installed on Mac OS X 10.6.."

 Checking the logs indicated something strange:

 It seems that the /usr/bin disappeared from the $PATH.

 I looked into serveral files and tried to find out where I might add this
 to the $PATH again, but it did not work using /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc.

 So I dumped the image to my harddrive and added:

 {{{
 PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
 }}}

 to the top of

 /Users/peterschroder/Desktop/MacPorts-1.8.2.pkg/Contents/Resources/InstallationCheck

 After doing this, I was able to install Mac-Ports.

 Does anyone know where I can configure the $PATH so that the installation
 works?
