I’m consistently getting this error across multiple boxes when doing a 
selfupdate to 2.8.0:

> Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded the MacPorts system.
> 
> Error: Couldn't change permissions of the MacPorts sources at 
> /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base
>  to root: child killed: kill signal

Another selfupdate command ignores the issue, but the ownership of base appears 
to be broken:

> ls -ld 
> /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base
> drwxr-xr-x  35 messagebus  polkitd  1120 Oct 22 07:57 
> /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/base/
