SSL Issues and PortGroup GitHub

[John Patrick]

Found the issue, got send this related issue
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50469.

I commented out a line from /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf;
macportsuser root

And it works, no idea why that line is in that file as I don't believe
I would have ever put it in their myself.

ansible is now installing okay.
