 OK, I made sure I did the proper un-install.  Installed 2.2.0 OK... Note:
 I have no configure script/application, for the first step, but proceeded
 with make and 'install' with no hitches!  All seemed fine.

 My attempt to (re)get the latest rsync:
 {{{

 The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
 should run
   port upgrade outdated
 mm:~ dgringo$ sudo port install rsync
 Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating
 them by running 'port selfupdate'.
 Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
 /Users/dgringo/src/MacPorts-2.2.0-archive/dports/net/rsync/Portfile

 }}}

 All sounds familiar as days back.  Luckily I have already installed git
 seperately, but I do wish for an updated rsync.  Where have I gone wrong
 -- all Macports was cleaned away nicely and reinstalled.  Previously I was
 able to macports install rsync.  As a minor  point of interest, I have
 always failed to, say, port install 2Pong.

 Hope I am now able to assist you assisting me.
