Comment(by soehn@…):

 Finally the selfupdate was successfull. I found some ports that have been
 registered as installed and active but were missing, too.
 To repair them I did:

 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall PORT
 sudo port install PORT
 }}}

 The

 {{{
 sudo port -u uninstall
 }}}
  to get rid of the dummies did not work properly. It stopped saying that
 perl5.8 cannot be uninstalled, bacause perl5 @5.12... depends on it.
 Is it safe to use

 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall perl5.8
 }}}
  in this case?
