Comment (by breun):

 MacPorts is accessing my home directory, because of the local git clone of
 the `macports-ports` repository I added in
 `/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf`, but the MacPorts installation
 itself is in the default `/opt/local` directory.

 When I comment the local entry from `sources.conf` and leave just the
 default rsync entry the fetch fails in the same way:
