selfupdate 2.3.5->2.4.0 fails: no configure script found in vendor/tcl/unix

[jryrigged]

Doing a sudo port -v selfupdate from 2.3.5 to 2.4.0, it errors out consistently, ending with the following output:

configure: === configuring in vendor/tcl/unix (/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base/vendor/tcl/unix)
configure: error: no configure script found in vendor/tcl/unix
Command failed: cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base && CC=/usr/bin/cc OBJC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure --prefix='/opt/local' --with-install-user='root' --with-install-group='admin' --with-directory-mode='0755' --enable-readline && make SELFUPDATING=1 && make install SELFUPDATING=1
Exit code: 1

I'm running OS-X 10.11.6

The suggested fix there (commenting out the rsync directives in macports.conf) worked for me as well. Sorry I missed the earlier report (I did search, but failed) - and thanks!
