I think something in MacPorts must recently have broken w.r.t. the  
definition of the master sites. Here's another bug report about this:

http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12486

Hasn't the "opendarwin" master sites alias been removed from MacPorts  
recently? If so, then the 160 ports that still use that alias (mostly  
lots of kde stuff) are now broken since they don't know where to  
fetch from. How should we handle this?
