 The problem is with all ports for me, too.
 Did you notice an error message when doing the selfupdate to 2.0.0?
 The problem I am facing is, the selfupdate should have turned all
 directories in /opt/var/macports/software/PORTNAME/ into archives, but it
 didn't. The reason is that sometimes in the past some ports have been
 uninstalled, but not deleted from the registry (they are marked as
 installed, but not active there). When trying to archive these,  the
 selfupdate-script stops with an error. I found out so far, that after
 archiving the folders should be deleted. This happens obviously after all
 archives have been created.
 So in my case, there are still folders like "2.3.0_1" with content in
 them. When you try to uninstall a port, the script tries to remove these
 folders, even though they should not be there. But it does try this with
 the -r option. So the folders with content cannot be deleted.
 I am now trying to add the directories as described above for the qca-port
 example. Always add a dummyfile, so tar will get some food.
 To get rid of all the dummies after selfupdate is successfully completed,
 simply run:

 {{{
 port -u uninstall
 }}}

 should work. At least I hope so. Just added
 /opt/local/var/macports/software/zlib/1.2.3_4 and are running the
 selfupdate again. Will report soon.
