No, but it is a side effect of how MacPorts works, and how our distfile 
mirroring process works, in the case where the upstream server delivers (or, at 
the time when we attempted to mirror it, delivered) an HTML file instead of the 
file we requested. This happens when developers configure their web servers 
improperly.

If we look at the contents of the .html file, we see it is a copy of 
https://github.com/dstosberg/odt2txt which appears to be where the odt2txt 
project has moved. A new version has been released there as well. I should 
update the port for these changes.

I have written, but not yet deployed, a new mirroring script for the master 
server, which will not result in .html files being created for such 
unsuccessful mirroring attempts. The master also needs to be cleaned up to 
remove existing inappropriate .html files. The mirrors will mirror what's on 
our master.
