[EXTERNAL] Re: 2.11.1 Installation Failed

Mon Jul 14 15:47:14 UTC 2025

I got the same error:

PN114685 500>> sudo port selfupdate
Password:
--->  Checking for newer releases of MacPorts
MacPorts base version 2.11.0 installed,

But that was when I was logged in remotely via ssh.   The update worked when I logged in directly, and the port commands now work remotely as well.
