#39941: sudo port upgrade <port> fails to untar the archive (permissions problem)

     Type:  defect             |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal             |  Milestone:
Component:  base               |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:  permissions, sudo  |       Port:
-------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Since I updated to macports 2.2.0, I am no longer able to upgrade the
 outdated ports. For instance

 {{{
 > sudo port upgrade bison
 }}}

 gives

 {{{
 --->  Computing dependencies for bison
 --->  Fetching distfiles for bison
 --->  Attempting to fetch bison-3.0.tar.xz from
 http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/gnu/ftp/gnu/bison
 --->  Verifying checksums for bison
 --->  Extracting bison
 Error: org.macports.extract for port bison returned: command execution
 failed
 Please see the log file for port bison for details:
 /Users/sicot/macports/var/macports/logs/_Volumes_DATA_Users_sicot_macports_var_macports_sources_www.macports.org_files_ports_devel_bison/bison/main.log
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
 }}}

 The log file shows that there is a problem of permissions despite the sudo
 command (the full log is enclosed):

 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/Users/sicot/macports/var/macports/build/_Volumes_DATA_Users_sicot_macports_var_macports_sources_www.macports.org_files_ports_devel_bison/bison/work"
 && /Users/sicot/macports/bin/xz -dc
 '/Users/sicot/macports/var/macports/distfiles/bison/bison-3.0.tar.xz' |
 /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: bison-3.0: Cannot mkdir: Operation not
 permitted
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: bison-3.0/.prev-version: Cannot open: No
 such file or directory
 ...
 }}}

 When I run the command manually (with sudo), it works. It is like macports
 does not run the command with sudo permissions but when I intentionally
 run without sudo i get the expected error:

 {{{
 > port upgrade bison
 Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
 }}}


 I did not installed macports in /opt/local because of HD partitioning made
 by my IT department. I don't know if it related. i run macos 10.7.5.
