  <p>Any idea</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>if this is caused by incompatibility between OS X Mavericks and Macports?</li>
  <li>how to fix it?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I tried a different computer upgrading it from 10.8.5 to 10.9, and then try to do selfupdate for macports, it did not work again but gave a different error:</p>
