 Priority:  Normal               |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                |    Version:  2.3.4

 So, I've upgraded to El Capitan on my Mac and I've attempted to follow the
 instructions for migration to the new operating system here:

 [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration]

 However, after the restore_ports.tcl script immediately fails after that
 with the error message:


 {{{
 Error: we appear to be stuck, exiting...
 infinite loop
     while executing
 "sort_ports $portList"
     invoked from within
 "set operationList [sort_ports $portList]"
     (file "./restore_ports.tcl" line 285)
 }}}

 I am confused as this does not seem to be due to conflicting ports in the
 list of previously installed ports that has been reported before and the
 error is different. My list of previously installed ports before upgrading
 to the new OS is long, so I've attached it as a file to this ticket. Thank
 you.
