 Hi,

 I can't get port version 2.03 (OSX10.4.11/ppc/G5 tower) to selfupdate, it
 fails with

 {{{
 make[2]: *** [registry.dylib] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
 make: *** [all] Error 1
 shell command "cd
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base &&
 CC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-
 tclpackage=/Library/Tcl --with-install-user=root --with-install-
 group=admin --with-directory-mode=0755 && make && make install
 SELFUPDATING=1" returned error 2
 DEBUG: Error installing new MacPorts base: shell command failed (see log
 for details)
     while executing
 "macports::selfupdate [array get global_options] base_updated"
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new
 MacPorts base: shell command failed (see log for details)
 }}}

 After some digging through tickets e.g.
 [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/11742], it appears that readline may be
 the culprit. Early in the selfupdate output there appears

 {{{
 --->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.3.3
 DEBUG: Permissions OK
 Warning: Disabling readline support due to readline in /usr/local
 }}}
 Even after completely clearing all instances of *readline" from my /usr
 directory (so
 {{{
 sudo find /usr -name "*readline*"
 }}}
 returns nothing, and
 {{{
 sudo port -f deactivate readline
 }}}

 I'm really stuck here, running really outdated apache2 etc. Any help
 appreciated!
