Hi,

Using the -d switch helped me debug the problem.  It was a file
permissing problem.  I had done the subversion checkout as root and it
caused problems with a file that was needed for a Python package.  I
did a "sudo chown -R mysusername:staff /opt/mports" and after that the
selfupdate started working even after another svn update.

Thanks!
