Comment (by captainproton1971):

 Thank you for the info on this.  I'm not sure what is meant by a 'locally
 generated PortIndex'.  I had a MacPorts installation on my laptop that was
 running Big Sur (PortIndex was presumably rsync'ed), followed the steps on
 the Migration page, and I'm now experiencing the reported issue.  This
 hasn't happened in previous during migrations arising from OS updates in
 the past... did I just get lucky then?

 "the ports are not upgraded because they are already the latest version
 for your current platform."
 Great, thanks.

 Is there a way to remediate this in the short term (I'm assuming it will
 fix itself once a Darwin 12 PortIndex exists on the server)?  Can steps be
 added to the Migration instructions to avoid this in the future?

 Thanks!
