You're welcome. We released 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 within the
span of about two weeks, but I think we finally got most of the kinks
worked out. You probably don't have to run selfupdate too frequently.
If you're subscribed to the mailing list, you should get the release
announcements; when you get one, then you can run selfupdate to get
that release. Or you can run selfupdate once a month or so just to
check. Or run it when you run into other random errors, to see if it
fixes them, before asking the list.
"sudo port sync", on the other hand, is probably a good thing to run
before you run any other port commands each day, so that you have the
most current version of all the ports.
