 I have an archive dir on a Linux NFS volume exported with option
 root_squash, so UID/GID 0,0 is mapped to anonymous. The dir is writable by
 root from the mac. Installation went fine, all archives were saved in this
 directory until now.

 The problem:

 {{{
 # port upgrade outdated
 Error: Target org.macports.archivefetch returned: lchown:
 /users/root/OSX/macports/packages/darwin/universal: not owner
 Log for ncursesw is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncursesw/main.log
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 }}}

 Explanation: root from the mac is not allowed to chown/lchown directories
 on this FS (normal Unix/Linux behavior)

 Question: Is this lchown necessary?

 Workaround: I moved the archive to a local FS.
