Could it be you're running an old version of port_cutleaves that doesn't understand the SQLite registry that is now mandatory in MacPorts 2? Try upgrading port_cutleaves.

Also, you may not need port_cutleaves anymore. I happen to still like it, but much of its functionality is in MacPorts base now; you can use "port installed leaves" to see what leaves you have, and "sudo port uninstall leaves" uninstall them. If the list of leaves isn't accurate, check "port installed requested"; that's the list of ports MacPorts thinks you want. If it's missing entries, you can use "sudo port setrequested" to add a port to that list, or "sudo port unsetrequested" to remove a port. Then "leaves" should be accurate.
