Failed to open port: expected boolean value but got…

[MaddTheSane (C.W. Betts)]

I am running into an error with some ports. Either something is misconfigured or my MacPorts database has become corrupted.

Warning: Failed to open port xar : expected boolean value but got "[option openssl.branch] != "no_version""
Warning: Failed to open port python27 : can't set "openssl.branch": expected boolean value but got "[option openssl.branch] != "no_version""
Warning: Failed to open port nodejs16 : can't set "openssl.branch": expected boolean value but got "[option openssl.branch] != "no_version""
Warning: Failed to open port qt6-qtbase : can't create procedure "developerversion::get_default_developerversion": unknown namespace
Warning: Failed to open port qt5-qtbase : can't create procedure "developerversion::get_default_developerversion": unknown namespace
Warning: Failed to open port openssl : expected boolean value but got "[option openssl.branch] != "no_version""

This is what happens when I pass the debug flag:

Selfupdate again, this was briefly broken but is now fixed.
