 I know that people are still trying to figure out all the issues with
 Xcode 4.3, but I had no choices but to move on to 4.4 as my hard drive
 died yesterday and was replaced.  I can install macports, but um unable to
 install any ports due to what seems like a privileges issue.  I.e.:

 sudo port install gnuplot
 ...
 --->  Fetching archive for aquaterm
 Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port aquaterm returned: could not set
 effective gid to 0
 Error: Failed to install aquaterm
 ...

 Relevant lines from the log file:

 :msg:archivefetch --->  Fetching archive for aquaterm
 :debug:archivefetch Executing org.macports.archivefetch (aquaterm)
 :debug:archivefetch Can't run archivefetch on this port without elevated
 privileges. Escalating privileges back to root.
 :error:archivefetch org.macports.archivefetch for port aquaterm returned:
 could not set effective gid to 0
 :debug:archivefetch Error code: NONE
 :debug:archivefetch Backtrace: could not set effective gid to 0
     while executing


 So despite running it as root, I'm not running it as root?
