---------------------------+--------------------------------
 I'm on Yosemite (10.10.3) and was trying to upgrade my MacPorts
 installation. I followed the instructions at
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration. For the sudo port clean all
 command I ran into an error:

 "--->  Cleaning capstone
 Error: Unable to open port: can't read "replaced_by": no such variable"

 I then ran the clean explicitly on all installed packages and that
 completed without problems.

 When trying to run restore_ports.tcl, however, the result was a failure:

 > sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt
 can't read "replaced_by": no such variable
     while executing
 "default long_description "This port has been replaced by
 ${replaced_by}.""
     (file
 "/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/_resources/port1.0/group/obsolete-1.0.tcl"
 line 52)
     invoked from within
 "source

     ("uplevel" body line 1)
     invoked from within
 "uplevel "source $groupFile""
     (procedure "PortGroup" line 20)
     invoked from within
 "PortGroup               obsolete 1.0"
     (file "Portfile" line 4)
     invoked from within

     invoked from within
 "$workername eval source Portfile"
     (procedure "mportopen" line 41)
     invoked from within
 "mportopen $portInfo(porturl) [list subport $portInfo(name)] $variantInfo"
 Unable to open port 'CarbonHeaders': can't read "replaced_by": no such
 variable
     while executing
 "dependenciesForPort $name $variants"
     (procedure "sort_ports" line 46)
     invoked from within
 "sort_ports $portList"
     invoked from within
 "set operationList [sort_ports $portList]"
     (file "./restore_ports.tcl" line 285)

 This was a bit too obscure an error for me.
