Ah, thank you very much. I get my fink and macports commands mixed up.

 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 outdated or installed expands to no ports).

You need to specify a port or pseudo-port. For example:

sudo port clean --all installed

One effective way to clean up is to remove old installed ports:

sudo port uninstall inactive

Fair warning: this makes it much harder to go back to an older version of a port.


Cheers!
