#72689: port command inoperable after update to 2.1.11
-----------------------+--------------------

     Type:  defect     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal     |  Milestone:
Component:  ports      |    Version:  2.11.1
 Keywords:             |       Port:
-----------------------+--------------------
 Running macOS Sequoia 15.5 arm64.

 The upgrade to the latest version failed as follows:

 {{{
 $ sudo port selfupdate && port outdated
 --->  Checking for newer releases of MacPorts
 MacPorts base version 2.11.0 installed,
 MacPorts base version 2.11.1 available.
 --->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.11.1
 --->  Attempting to fetch MacPorts 2.11.1 source code from

 base/releases/download/v2.11.1/MacPorts-2.11.1.tar.bz2

 Error: Error installing new MacPorts base: command execution failed
 Please run `port -v selfupdate' for details.
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new
 MacPorts base: command execution failed
 }}}

 But I cannot provide the requested details because the `port` command has
 become unusable:

 {{{
 $ sudo port -v selfupdate
 Killed
 $ port outdated
 Killed
 $ port
 Killed
 }}}

 MacPorts is killing itself with SIGKILL for some reason.
