Comment (by istlota@…):

 'ls -lash /Applications/MacPorts/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/GIMP' returns
 nothing. Finder confirms there is no GIMP.app folder in
 /Applications/MacPorts. Spotlight returns no hits when I use it to search
 for GIMP.app.

 When I stated that I do not have gimp installed, that was based upon my
 never having successfully performed a 'port install gimp' or a 'port
 install gimp-app', and the fact that 'port installed gimp' returns
 nothing. Nevertheless, 'port installed gimp-app' reports that gimp-app is
 installed. My assumption is that something else that I have explicitly
 port installed, in turn, implicitly installed gimp-app as a dependency.

 Proceeding with that assumption, I performed a 'port uninstall gimp-app'.
 followed by a 'port clean gimp-app', then tried 'port -v rev-upgrade'
 again. The result was that the rev-upgrade msg about not being able to
 open GIMP went away, but was replaced by the a new msg:

    Jiva:~ istlota$ port -v rev-upgrade

    --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 11.4%

    Warning: Error parsing file /opt/local/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-
 helper: Error opening or reading file

    --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%

    --->  No broken files found.

 I, then, performed a 'port install gimp-app +universal' . It has taken
 eight hours, so far, but continues. The term session is not locked up
 because it does periodically report the status of yet another dependent
 port it installs. The last one was webkit-gtk. Obviously, I would remember
 if I had ever sat thru this insanely lengthy process before. It has me
 wondering if, maybe, gimp-app was installed as part of the lengthy process
 of initially install MacPorts from the downloaded DMG. That was the only
 time I have ever done anything with MacPorts that took this long.
