 Replying to [comment:3 wheinbockel@…]:
 > Since this issue does not appear to have been fixed and there has been
 no activity for ~6 months, here was at least a related issue that I had:

 It's hard to know what to fix; there aren't enough specifics about the
 issues. The first issue, that of an allegedly corrupted registry, is hard
 to debug since the user already deleted the MacPorts installation,
 complete with its registry. The second issue, that of a failed preflight
 script during reinstallation, is hard to debug without some output from
 that preflight script.

 > Since /opt is present, but the link target /private/opt does not exist,
 the mkdir /opt/* in the preflight script fails.
 > A simple {{{sudo mkdir /private/opt}}} will fix the issue.

 I don't think this issue is related to the ones reported in this ticket.
 That's also not the recommended fix for it. See issue #13707.
