Larryv:
First, I hope this is the correct way to reply by adding a comment at the
end.
Second, you are absolutely right. My bad.
I had typed "port help" and the message I got was "[...] by running 'port
selfupdate'". Neither this message or anything in the error output
indicated permissions issue. I should have figured this one out on my own,
but the error message led me down the wrong analysis path.
I added the sudo and it worked like a champ. I did notice that the next
step "port upgrade outdated" does give me an "insufficient privledges"
message if I don't preface the command with sudo.
I am now "selfupdated-ed" and I suspect I will remember the 'sudo' thanks
to my mistake in thinking it was a possible problem ("duh!" moments have
good memory retention)
Thanks for your help,
Paul
