That's the thing - the bug only affects reclaim when it runs
automatically as part of the same command as sync or selfupdate. Your
PortIndex was never actually corrupt on disk, it just isn't reloaded
correctly in that specific situation.

Thanks. Actually I got the message a few weeks ago after doing a port
selfupdate and it repeated again today after doing another port selfupdate so
it appears that the second port selfupdate did not clear it. However, I just
tried doing a sudo port reclaim and did not get any errors.

Today, while doing a port update, I did a port reclaim and received the
followed errors (just a subset of the errors are listed). What could cause
this and how could I fix it?
You haven't run 'sudo port reclaim' in two weeks. It's recommended you run this
regularly to reclaim disk space. Would you like to run it now? [Y/n]: Y
