We should not have been trying to rebuild the port index when upgrading the MaCPorts version. We've already fixed this for the future, but unfortunately can't do anything about it for users upgrading from 1.x. Despite all these errors, you should now have MacPorts 2 installed, and simply running selfupdate again should rebuild the port index correctly with MacPorts 2.

Yes, I believe that should be fine.
