 I've gotten this error on a few occasions of updating my ports (via "sudo
 port upgrade outdated"):
 {{{
 Warning: cltversion: The Command Line Tools are installed, but MacPorts
 cannot determine the version.
 }}}
 I've read the page that is also output (ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt), and
 did this once, but it seems the latest Xcode update broke it again.

 Can an alternative method be used to get the version of Xcode? This

 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33732042/check-xcode-version-from-
 command-line

 says that
 {{{
 system_profiler SPDeveloperToolsDataType
 }}}

 can be used. It seems to provide appropriate output on my system (and has
 options for either xml or json output).
