Hi Ryan,
I have installed the latest version of macPorts.
"port upgrade" gave me a list of outdated ports, but "sudo port upgrade"
gave the following error:
Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not
find Portfile in /Users/mycomputer").
Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
(you might also see this message if a pseudo-port such as
outdated or installed expands to no ports).
Not sure how to solve this error.
Thanks,
Terrence

I recently had some problems with my system and had to reinstall it,
now it appears that I have lost links to macPorts. I first noticed a
problem when I opened Porticus and found that a lot of my ports were
outdated and I could not update them. I used Terminal to try and
get a
list of port and got the following error:
$ port list
can't find package macports
while executing
"package require macports"
(file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 39)
I searched for macPorts in the finder and found that there are
macPorts
folder in opt/local/etc, opt/local/var, opt/local/share, etc., so
I assume
macPorts is still installed. Is there a way to relink to macPorts.
Alternatively,
if I install the latest version of macPorts will it over-write the
current version?
It sounds like you've lost the directory /Library/Tcl/macports1.0.
I recommend you download the latest MacPorts disk image for your OS
from www.macports.org and install it. It will replace that
directory and update you to the latest, while not touching any
ports you have installed. Then you can "port outdated" and "sudo
port upgrade" things, or use Porticus, to get your ports upgraded.
