If "selfupdate" updates your MacPorts base, you must run "selfupdate" a second time to properly index the ports. If you're updating from MacPorts 2.0.2 or later, it'll tell you to run "selfupdate" again if it's necessary; if you update from an earlier version, you just have to know to selfupdate a second time.

Yes, you need to use "sudo" when selfupdating, assuming your MacPorts is installed as root (which it is unless you compiled from source and specified a different user).
