Thanks Scott, here is the file: Sorry for the long number of lines, in the meantime, I will do another sudo port selfupdate. Looking at the log, it appears to have failed in a number of places.

Subject: Re: I'm a beginner so be nice to me 

Can we see the log data from the file at: 
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_gettext/main.log 

It looks like gettext failed to install, which is a dependency needed for dsniff to work. I think that failed because the fetch of the file download did not work. Until you post the log, you could try to make sure you are up to date with `sudo port selfupdate` which is good to run every now and then just to be current. 

The log will tell you exactly where the fetch failed so you can look into it deeper. Sorry I can not be of more help, I too am a bit of a beginner with all of this. Someone else here will be able to pin down exactly what is going on, though in the meantime, see what you can learn from the log.
