-------------------------+--------------------
 Is it a bug ? I can  access https://nue.de.distfiles.macports.org, and
 rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar and download with
 http protocol, so it is not a network problem, but still the selfupdate
 command is no more worhing.
 On a Macos Intel with Tahoe 26.2 (25C56)

 sudo port -v selfupdate
