port can't find package Pextlib 1.0

[clang@…]

When I run port at the terminal prompt I get the following:

''
can't find package Pextlib 1.0
    while executing
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
    (procedure "mportinit" line 365)
    invoked from within
"mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, can't find package Pextlib 1.0''

When I search with spotlight I find pextlib 1.0 in: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macportsorg/release/base/src/pextlib1.0 as well as in: /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0

Can anyone tell me why port might not be able to find it?

I installed version 1.5.0 from the package installer from the disk image MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg

I do not know why you are experiencing this problem. Please write a message to the macports-users mailing list and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

same here on 10.4.10

Please reinstall MacPorts (either from the dmg or from source) and then run selfupdate to upgrade to our latest release. Report back here with new findings and please close the ticket if the problem goes away (in short, everything looks as expected on your system --at least with respect to the information you provided, which might not be enough-- so I don't see why you're getting this failure).
