I'm having the same problem, but even after removing PortIndex neither
`sudo port sync` nor `sudo port selfupdate` pulled the latest changes
in the git repository.

I have a git clone of the macports-ports repository and the currently
checked out branch is `master` from the official repository.
If I `git pull` manually and then `portindex` or `sudo port sync` or
`sudo port selfupdate` the Portfile is correctly generated.

Any hints?

Best wishes.
