Comment:

 Has duplicate #43470.

 The log says:

 {{{

 We can see from the "_private_opt" portion of the above path that your opt
 is not at the root of your hard drive but inside the private folder. This
 should not be, and could have occurred if years ago you installed a
 version of the Cisco VPN client. We used to have a FAQ entry about this:

 wiki:FAQ?version=1#IjustinstalledMacPorts1.2fromthe.dmgandIseemtohavelostallmyinstalledportsakaCiscoVPNatemyMacPorts

 but it was deleted many years ago because Cisco fixed the problem in later
 versions of their installer. Please remove the /opt symlink pointing to
 /private/opt and put /private/opt back at /opt where it belongs.
