     Type:  defect         |     Status:  new
 Priority:  High           |  Milestone:
Component:  base           |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:  cannot update  |       Port:
---------------------------+--------------------------------
 I run '''port -v selfupdate''' and receive the following;

 {{{

 Error: Failed to verify signature for MacPorts source!
 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Failed to verify
 signature for MacPorts source!
 }}}

 I also receive the following whenever I try to execute a port command;

 {{{
 Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating
 them by running 'port selfupdate'.
 }}}
 hence the reason I tried to update.
 I even downloaded/installed macports using the package installer, but this
 DID NOT resolve the issue.
