selfupdate fails trying to synch with openmodelica (!)

[Jerry]

OS 10.9.4
MacPorts 2.3.1

I have run into this problem in connection to attempts to install qtiplot https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44252 but is surely unrelated.

I just did selfupdate and got weird problem with openmodelica which isn't even an available port. Terminal session is pasted below.

I run selfupdate from time to time and haven't had this problem. I ran selfupdate yesterday without a problem. I'm flabbergasted.

More than two years ago I tried to install OpenModelica from probably openmodelica.org. The installer was a macports-based standalone deal and had lots of problems. I finally abandoned it and removed all traces of it. (It installed into /opt/openmodelica and there was a weird problem with a launch agent relating to org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist.) I haven't had anything to do with it since.

I have upgraded my OS once and probably twice since then. I have re-installed MacPorts from scratch about two months ago after upgrading to Mavericks. Like I said, I've run selfupdate a number of times, even recently, with no problems.

I have Wolfram SystmModeler which is a version of OpenModelica with hooks into Mathematica. I rarely use it and haven't even launched it in months. Mathematica was running when I ran the problematic selfupdate today, but not SystemModeler. I'm only mentioning this because like I said I can't see any explanation at all. As far as I know the Wolfram product has nothing to do with MacPorts.

The following folders are present in my MacPorts tree, discovered using Path Finder. I don't know why. The first folder contains about 131 kB. There is nothing related to openmodelica in response to port installed.
