MacPorts 1.8.1 has been released

[Ralph Pass]

Like several other people I have had trouble with updating to 1.8.1 on 
Snow Leopard.

On my Mac Pro (about 19 months old), I updated to Snow Leopard and then 
1.8.0 and things worked.  I then did a sudo port selfupdate and it 
worked.  A sudo port upgrade outdated also worked.
On a new (3 month old) Macbook Pro, I updated to Snow Leopard and then 
1.8.0 and things worked.  However, it failed when I did a sudo port 
selfupdate:




 sudo port selfupdate
dlopen(/Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 10): no suitable image 
found.  Did find:
    /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
    while executing
"load /Library/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded macports 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require macports"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 39)


Note that for
uname -a     gives:
Darwin mars.local 10.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 
22:47:34 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

sw_vers      gives:
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion:    10.6.1
BuildVersion:    10B504

So I am bit perplexed and looking for guidance.

Thanks,
Ralph Pass
