Can't update Macports (with Mac OS X Mavericks)

Question

After upgrading Mac OS X to newest version Mavericks, I attempted to selfupdate my Macports, but it failed:

$ sudo port -v selfupdate
--->  Updating MacPo         


        

Answer 1

there is an actual bug with

gperf @3.0.4: error: expected parameter declarator

thankfully this issue has its own ticket at MacPorts ticket 40918

if anything you could read all the issues in Mavericks at http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MavericksProblems
