Comment (by jharmon@…):

 it doesn't solve the selfupdate problem.  what it does is updates your
 macports version.  THEN you have to use port sync to update your tree, and
 can carry on.  the only thing that is broken is updating the macports
 application itself, which is normally done during a self update IN
 ADDITION to port sync

 downloading the appropriate OS-X-version-specific installer from the
 [https://www.macports.org/install.php MacPorts web site]. This will not
 erase your installed ports.

 > > I did not see one, but if you see an error message at the end of the
 installer when it tries to contact the rsync server, you can ignore it;
 MacPorts should still have been successfully updated, which you can verify
 by typing "port version".

 > Tried this but it didn't fix the problem. Still getting error Error:
 /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Failed to verify signature
 for MacPorts source!
