MacPorts 1.8.0

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	I used:

		sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants
		sudo port /upgrade --enforce-variants

as suggested with the following result:

		Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not  
find Portfile in /Users/frank").
		Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
		To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
		(you might also see this message if a pseudo-port such as
		outdated or installed expands to no ports).
