After that the macports user and groups PrimaryGroupID was 502, instead
of 20. I did this manually a few weeks ago by looking at the MacPorts makefile, and this definitely cleared things up. My machine's user account has been migrated over the years from OS X Panther. I suspect the macports user account and group got created a long time ago from an early form of MacPorts and ended up with a group ID of 20, which is also used for staff. For some reason, Mavericks resolves the duplicate ID dilemma differently than previous versions of OX X and so I was never really aware of it. But once I cleaned up the user ID and group ID so that they were unique, things now behave themselves. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41039#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
