 I'm trying out unprivileged port installation onto an NFS volume. Some of
 the ports work fine, and others fail during activation with an error
 similar to:

 {{{
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: could not read
 "/tmp/mpextractRaNdMsTr/my/nfs/vol/share/some/file": no such file or
 directory
 }}}

 The random string after mpextract changes every time I invoke port. I was
 able to install (with activation) expat, gperf, and zlib. openssl reports:

 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: could not read
 "/tmp/mpextractbwThfU1Z/my/nfs/vol/share/man/man3/bn_print.3ssl.gz": no
 such file or directory

 The error referenced a log file which reported:

 {{{
 :error:activate Target org.macports.activate returned: could not read
 "/tmp/mpex
 tractbwThfU1Z/my/nfs/dir/share/man/man3/bn_print.3ssl.gz": no
 such file or directory
 :debug:activate Backtrace: could not read
 "/tmp/mpextractbwThfU1Z/my/nfs/dir/share/man/man3/bn_print.3ssl.gz": no
 such file or directory
 }}}

 When the port command was running in one shell, I ran in another:

 {{{
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_print.3ssl.gz -ls
 49783049        8 lrwxrwxrwx    1 scf      wheel          19 Jul 25 14:37
 /tmp/mpextractZPRfhjbH/my/nfs/dir/share/man/man3/bn_print.3ssl.gz ->
 bn_internal.3ssl.gz
 }}}

 I repeated the search for bn_internal and, while the activation was
 underway in one shell, on some invocations it was there and on some it was
 not.

 {{{
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_internal.3ssl.gz -ls
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_internal.3ssl.gz -ls
 49786216       16 -r--r--r--    1 scf      wheel        4626 Jul 25 13:52
 /tmp/mpextractZWZZGmqK/my/nfs/dir/share/man/man3/bn_internal.3ssl.gz
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_internal.3ssl.gz -ls
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_internal.3ssl.gz -ls
 # find /tmp/mp* -name bn_internal.3ssl.gz -ls
 }}}

 ncurses had similar trouble.
