I did this (without +universial since I didn't build my ports universal) and
it worked like a breeze.

Ok, this fixed itself after a repeated "selfupdate" as you wrote.

After this I had two further blocking points one was this issue:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-November/012299.html

The fix from the archive worked ok

After this there was only a issue with libungif (like here
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/18982)

Deactivating libungif fixed this also.

After this the upgrade run to the end.

Thanks a lot for your help
