Comment:

 So... you were trying to install fetchmail? Did you try to clean
 fetchmail, as the error message said?

 Unless you specifically installed MacPorts to run as a different user,
 MacPorts runs as root, which means you must prefix your "port" commands
 with "sudo", as in "sudo port install fetchmail" or "sudo port clean
 fetchmail". (The notice "MacPorts running without privileges" means you
 were not doing this.)
