--------------------------+--------------------
 I thought I would try testing the beta package after seeing the email, but
 I may have performed the update incorrectly.

 Downloaded MacPorts-2.11.0-beta1-15-Sequoia.pkg and double-clicked to
 manually install it over the existing build.

 The debug output generated by 'selfupdate' reported a permssions issue:
