I downloaded reinstalled the MacPorts for OSX El Capitan pkg. I searched the web on the error and found no relevant information so far.

Regards,\\ Chuck Sullivan -- Comment: Don't forget to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac. The relevant error in the log seems to be: {{{ openssl output: couldn't create error file for command: permission denied }}} The signature for the archive (any archive) cannot be verified because a temporary error output file could not be created because the permissions of the directory it tried to create it in didn't allow that. I'm not sure what directory it's using, but the tmp directory would be a good first guess. What are its permissions? Find out with: {{{ ls -ld /private/tmp }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51220#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
