Port Self update fails on the Mac OSX Mavericks

[shreyasjoshi15@…]

I am trying to uninstall the geany and its dependencies.

I did the following command.

sudo port uninstall geany. I am planning to use something more standard like sublime.

However, I realized later that this has not deleted the dependencies associated with geany like x11, gtk, etc. When I was trying to remove the x11, etc. It showed me the error that port needs self update. The port self update fails here.

Here is the entire log.
