Dirty solution

$ sudo su -
# cd /usr/bin
ln -s tar gnutar

Now perform the update again. This time it works.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

And what does the main.log say? Please attach it.

If it mentions gnutar, read MavericksProblems.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ah, sorry, I see you already showed the log, and it does mention gnutar.

Please remove the gnutar symlink you created and instead reinstall MacPorts (i.e. "sudo port -f selfupdate")

[marc@…]

Yes, solution is mentioned in ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MavericksProblems. Now everythinks builds as expected.

Sheers.

sudo port -f selfupdate has worked for me thanks a lot.
