failure of "port selfupdate"

[William H. Magill]

I just decided I should probably check on the status of my macports install and got the following...

==================<cut here>============
sudo port selfupdate
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 1.8.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 1.9.2 downloaded.
--->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 1.9.2
Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755; Tcl-Package in /Library/Tcl

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new MacPorts base: shell command "cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl --with-install-user=root --with-install-group=admin --with-directory-mode=0755 --enable-readline && make && make install" returned error 1
==================<cut here>============

Something I did, or is something broken?

Don't see anything obviously wrong.  
When I check /opt/local from my id (not su), I noticed that "/opt/local/man" is a link which for some reason is giving me a "Permission denied.

ls: ./man: Permission denied
4 lrwx------  1 root  admin  9 Feb 12  2010 ./man

  even though /opt/local/share/man is fine... (but man3 is also full of bad links... argh!)

ls -als share
total 0
0 drwxr-xr-x   9 root  admin   306 Feb 12  2010 .

=========

The only "odd"  thing which I did notice is:

ls -als /library/Tcl
total 0
0 drwxr-xr-x   4 root  admin   136 Nov 13 15:15 .
0 drwxrwxr-t+ 62 root  admin  2108 Nov 13 15:15 ..
0 drwxrwxr-x   9 root  admin   306 Mar 23  2007 darwinports1.0
0 drwxr-xr-x  10 root  admin   340 Feb 12  2010 macports1.0


.... Thought I had purged all the darwin ports stuff ages ago... :)
