-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 I recently upgraded to MacPorts 2.0.0.

 It looks like I have found a MacPorts permission problem now.

 Here is an example of a usual workflow when I work with a local port tree.

 * Right at the beginning one sees that the install of kdepimlibs4 fails.

 * A look at the log file reveals that MacPorts changes gid and uid to 505
 and 511 respectively being the macports user.

 * dscl shows that marko has uid 502

 * ls -l shows that the Portfile should be readable to anyone, BUT IT ISN'T
 OBVIOUSLY. :-(
