Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Tried installing mac ports latest on El Capitan. THe install locked up around 75% complete. Now I just get this error every time i try something.

us-col-internet-10-19-1-136:tmp $ sudo port clean --all
Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /private/var/tmp").
Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.

Can anyone help please?

The installer will take a long time on El Capitan due to #49050. If you interrupted it, run "sudo port selfupdate" now and let it finish what it was doing.

The error you show is a user error. You've asked MacPorts to clean all aspects, but you haven't told it what port(s) to clean all aspects of. If you wanted to clean all aspects of all ports, the correct command would be "sudo port clean --all all".
