 Hi,

 I have a problem updating macports, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I
 tried running `sudo port -d selfupdate`, this is the output:

 {{{

 I understand the problem is with rsync, but I don't know how to solve it.
 Could you please help me?

 Thank you!

Comment:

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting.

 I'm not certain whether the error message means that it cannot reach our
 rsync server or that it cannot resolve the hostname into an IP address.

 Does it always fail? Has it ever worked? Does restarting the computer
 help?

 Inability to connect to our rsync servers is usually caused by a problem
 with your network connection, such as an intentional blocking of rsync
 traffic by your corporate network administrator, or a feature or bug of
 your antivirus or network monitoring software, or something similar.

 If you cannot resolve the problem, you will have to configure MacPorts to
 sync its ports using a method other than rsync (for example
 [wiki:howto/SyncingWithGit using git] or [wiki:howto/PortTreeTarball using
 a tarball]). selfupdate cannot use a method other than rsync, so you
 cannot use selfupdate and must install new versions of MacPorts when they
 are released by downloading and running the installer from our web site,
 or building from source manually, and must use `sudo port sync` instead of
 `sudo port selfupdate` to update your ports tree.
