Selfupdate not stored / not updated

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

i am using MacPorts on Leopard Powerpc 10.5.8 and repeatedly run into

Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating them by running 'port selfupdate'.

altough i several times run succesfully "sudo port selfupdate" and let it process by compter

rich-kus-powerbook-g4-15:~ richku$ sudo port selfupdate
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.4.0 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.4.1 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.4.1
Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755

it takes a very long time (powerbook g4 1,67ghz() to update...

why does it install as root:admin? and why does it fail after finishing?
eg, when i try to install something, it again says

Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating them by running 'port selfupdate'.

Thanks

ok, i tried again, this time it went differently

Not all sources could be fully synced using the old version of MacPorts. Please run selfupdate again now that MacPorts base has been updated.

it gives error because some py27 -- are not found ... allegedly because leopard cannot handle the ​https:// ...
