Port upgrade problems

[David Perlman]

I am pretty deep down a rabbit hole which started with just trying to install ffmpeg.  Getting along a little bit at a time...  but now having these errors:

Trinley:macports omgoleus$ sudo port selfupdate
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.1 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.1 downloaded.
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

#########So far so good.  But now:

Trinley:macports omgoleus$ sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Computing dependencies for sqlite3
--->  Configuring sqlite3
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for sqlite3 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_sqlite3/sqlite3/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

##########And also:

Trinley:macports omgoleus$ sudo port install autoconf
--->  Computing dependencies for autoconf
--->  Configuring autoconf
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)

################
That file /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib  is present, and readable by everyone.  I googled that filename and found references having to do with old installs of MacPorts, linking to a Migration guide.  I followed the steps there.  Reverting macports.conf to macports.conf.default went OK.  Then I ran into trouble on the next step:

Trinley:macports omgoleus$ sudo port -f uninstall --follow-dependents installed
--->  Deactivating 1Dmean @1.0_0
--->  Uninstalling 1Dmean @1.0_0
Error: port uninstall failed: error deleting "/opt/local/var/macports/software/1Dmean/1.0_0": directory not empty



I had MacPorts installed a long time ago, and just reinstalled it from precompiled binary, then ran sudo port selfupdate and sudo port upgrade outdated.  To get that to work at all, I had to edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf to remove some local ports directories that someone else had set up a long time ago.

Currently that file only says 
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]

which I think is right?

Any help would be appreciated, this has gotten way out of hand.  :)
