What is MacPorts doing?

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	Three ports depended on render, namely:  xorg-renderproto, cairo,  
and xrender.  I did a "sudo port -nf" for each.  I then followed with  
a "sudo port selfupdate" and got the following error:

Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the  
ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed

I then ran "sudo port -d selfupdate" which resulted in no error.  I  
suspect MacPorts had a hard time with the sync of render after the  
delinking.  I do not know yet if the executed procedure remove the  
error.  I am running "sudo port upgrade installed" now to verify if  
the error disappeared.  This will also see if the resync addressed  
the textlive issue.  The fix may not have been put in between the  
last sync and the current one.  I run the selfupdate before each  
upgrade run to ensure the latest for upgrading.
