#44509: selfupdate tried to tell me to run selfupdate again

 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.3.1
 Keywords:  selfupdate  |       Port:
------------------------+--------------------------------
 I ran port selfupdate, which said this, just before exiting:
 {{{
 Not all sources could be fully synced using the old version of MacPorts.
 Please run selfupdate again now that MacPorts base has been updated.
 }}}

 We see a lot of text in a day, including a lot of stuff we skim over
 because it serves only really as a textual replacement for a progress bar.
 So it's hard for such text, which is basically crying wolf, to get our
 attention. So I missed above text that selfupdate printed. BTW, here the
 text is set off in a box by itself, indented. In real life it just looked
 like more debug/verbose blah blah output.

 In any case, if selfupdate knows enough to print that message, it knows
 enough to do the second pass itself and should do so.
