List all IDs so we can choose one that's not in use {{{ dscl . -list /Groups PrimaryGroupID }}} Then I changed macports id from 20 to 502, and changed the macports users PrimaryGroupID to the same number, 502 in my case. {{{ sudo dscl -q . -create /Groups/macports PrimaryGroupID 502 sudo dscl -q . -create /Users/macports PrimaryGroupID 502 }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41039#comment:10> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
