error installing port atlas and alos cannot selfupdate

[tandin.t@…]

Hi I am not able to install ports such as atlas and octave. When trying to selfupdate macports, I get the following error message. Tandins-MacBook-Pro:~ tandintshewang$ sudo port -d selfupdate

DEBUG: Copying /Users/tandintshewang/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist to /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

I would really appreciate if someone could help me get around this problem.

Your rsync connection seems to be getting blocked. First thing to do would be to try again at another time, in case of some temporary glitch. Barring that, look here <​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#selfupdatefails> for more ideas.

Hope this helps you.
