 When I try and install anything using `sudo port install xxx` I get the
 following error:

 {{{
 Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/sysutils/xxx/Portfile
 }}}

 I am running the latest version of MacPorts (2.2.1) on OSX 10.9.1.  I have
 tried performing a sync of the sources tree, even in debug mode.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Sounds like the permissions of your ports tree are incorrect. No idea why
 that would be, but you'll need to fix them. Reasonable permissions would
 be for directories to be 755 and files to be 644, so you could run:

 {{{
 sudo echo
 find
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports
 -type d -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 755
 find
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports
 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 644
 }}}
