 Hello ,

 i am using MacPorts on Leopard Powerpc 10.5.8 and repeatedly run into "

 Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating
 them by running 'port selfupdate'.

 altough i several times run succesfully "sudo port selfupdate" and let it
 process by compter


 rich-kus-powerbook-g4-15:~ richku$ sudo port selfupdate

 --->  Updating the ports tree
 --->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.4.1
 Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions

 it takes a very long time (powerbook g4 1,67ghz() to update...



 why does it install as root:admin? and why does it fail after finishing?
 eg, when i try to install something, it again says
