 > I executed those commands.  Macports said it was the latest version (I
 had run selfupdate earlier today, also).

 Note that what it said was that you had the latest version of MacPorts
 base, however it also updated your port definitions, which is what I was
 really after here. Port definitions are updated constantly; it's unusual
 for an hour to go by without someone committing an update for some port.

 > The clean readline command ran, although when I ran the upgrade command,
 I found out that readline is not installed on my machine.

 Ok, then "sudo port install readline". I assumed you already had an
 earlier version of readline, since you said apache2 and mysql5 both
 succeeded in installing, and both of them declare direct or indirect
 dependencies on readline, meaning it is not possible for you to have
 installed apache2 or mysql5 without already having readline installed.

 > Maybe I should install the readline port before trying to install the
 apache2 port?

 MacPorts manages dependencies for you; that's one of MacPorts' primary
 features. With "port rdeps" you can see that apache2 depends on apr-util
 depends on sqlite3 depends on readline. So if you ask MacPorts to install
 apache2, it will install readline for you first.

 > I just tried "sudo port install readline" and got the same error.

 Ok. What is the contents of the directory
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/readline? If it does not contain the
 files readline-6.1.tar.gz, readline61-001 and readline61-002, try removing
 the distfiles and trying again:

 {{{
 sudo port clean --all readline
 sudo port install readline
 }}}
