Sorry for my error. I get, in fact:
$ echo ~macports
/opt/local/var/macports/home
$ ls -al ~macports
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 macports macports 102 Dec 10 16:01 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 12 root admin 408 Dec 10 16:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Dec 10 16:01 Library
$ ls -al ~macports/Library
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Dec 10 16:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 macports macports 102 Dec 10 16:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 68 Dec 10 17:18 Preferences
Is that what’s expected?
