 Tried installing mac ports latest on El Capitan.  THe install locked up
 around 75% complete.  Now I just get this error every time i try
 something.
 {{{
 us-col-internet-10-19-1-136:tmp $ sudo port clean --all
 Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find
 Portfile in /private/var/tmp").
 Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
 To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
 us-col-internet-10-19-1-136:tmp $
 }}}

 Can anyone help please?

Comment:

 The installer will take a long time on El Capitan due to #49050. If you
 interrupted it, run "sudo port selfupdate" now and let it finish what it
 was doing.

 The error you show is a user error. You've asked MacPorts to clean all
 aspects, but you haven't told it what port(s) to clean all aspects of. If
 you wanted to clean all aspects of all ports, the correct command would be
 "sudo port clean --all all".
