Hi;

sudo port -v -t upgrade outdated

Fails on xz:

Interesting that I can do the "cd; bzip2; tar" command sequence
manually and it works fine.

I started the process tonight with:

sudo port selfupdate
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.8.0 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.8.0 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

~: port -v -t diagnose

this command returned zero results.

The common error report:

Killed by signal: 9
Error: Failed to extract xz: command execution failed

Happens with many of the ports.

What is wrong with my system?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
