Error: Port kolourpaint not found

[peterge1998 (Peter)]

I just found MacPorts and want to install Kolourpaint now.

First I executed xcode-select --install:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" in System Settings to install updates

Then I ran sudo port install kolourpaint, which gave this error message:

Error: Port kolourpaint not found

How can I install kolourpaint?

I installed MacPorts-2.8.1-13-Ventura.pkg at the beginning!

Sounds like your portindex is not up to date, or is perhaps entirely nonexistent, for some reason. Run sudo port -d selfupdate to update or create it. (The pkg installer does this as its final step but maybe it failed.)

Then I dace this error:

% sudo port -d selfupdate

So MacPorts is unable to connect to the rsync server. That would be why the installer wasn't able to create the index in the first place. See: wiki:FAQ#selfupdatefails

Ok, so this is not a bug in MacPorts. If you need further help using MacPorts, please ask on the macports-users mailing list.
