 macports web pages. I then did copy and paste from the install page on how
 to install from source on the macports web pages. My standard process is
 to sudo bash, port -d selfupdate, port upgrade outdated and then port -f
 uninstall inactive.

 just run `port -u upgrade outdated`.

 Tried this and worked fine, I will continue to use this process.

 updated? Should users should replace macports.conf with
 macports.conf.defaults?

 > If you have not made any edits to your macports.conf, replacing it with
 macports.conf.default would be acceptable. However if you have made edits
 to macports.conf that you wish to keep, you should compare the two files
 and figure out what you want to do with each line.

 I made the replacement and did:
 port clean --all coreutils
 port upgrade coreutils
 (it failed again)
 port uninstall coreutils
 port install coreutils
 (it failed again)

 Here are the last few lines of the log:
 :info:configure checking whether mkfifo rejects trailing slashes... no

 Many thanks for your time on this.
