Oh, it already is a cache miss and thus a fresh installation, in Tomas's example. I can reproduce that in my own Github account by making a trivial change to ci_macports_packages.sh to I get a cache miss too. It appears to install macports just fine, and then a later command fails in MacPort's sqlite package registry database, "attempt to write a readonly database". At a wild guess, what has changed here to trigger this new condition is that MacPorts has noticed a new stable release of itself available and taken some new code path related to upgrading. No idea why it thinks its package database is read-only, though... looking...
