 rpm tries to access files in the destroot in the activate phase. The
 destroot does not necessarily exist at activation time. For example, if a
 port it installed, activated, deactivated, then activated again. Or if a
 port is installed from a pre-compiled binary from the packages server.
 This was reported by Wim Deblauwe on the users mailing list and on
 [http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/54781/problem-installing-rpm-
 using-macports stack exchange].

 The workaround is to install from source:

 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall rpm
 sudo port clean rpm
 sudo port -s install rpm
 }}}

 The fix is to move files that are part of the destroot in the destroot
 phase, not the activate phase.
