 Hello,
 I am try to install wine 1.2 on Mac 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
 {{{
 sudo port install wine-devel
 }}}
 The above command fails when trying to install the dependency, expat. I am
 running these as user root.
 I tried installing expat alone :
 {{{
 sudo port clean expat
 sudo port uninstall expat (didn't do anything because it isn't installed)
 sudo port install -d expat
 }}}
 I have attached the logs of the command to install expat. The
 expat-2.0.1.tar.gz file was downloaded successfully
 {{{
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/
 -rwx------  1 macports  admin  446456 Jul 21  2010 expat-2.0.1.tar.gz
 -rwx------  1 macports  admin    1916 Jul 21  2010 Portfile
 }}}

 Error message :
 {{{
 :notice:fetch --->  Attempting to fetch expat-2.0.1.tar.gz from
 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/expat
 :debug:fetch Fetching distfile failed: Permission denied
 :error:fetch org.macports.fetch for port expat returned: error deleting
 "/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz.TMP":
 permission denied
 :debug:fetch Error code: POSIX EACCES {permission denied}
 }}}

 Could you please suggest what needs to be done?
 Thank you.

Comment:

 Why does the directory /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/ contain a
 Portfile?

 Why are the permissions on the files in
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/ `-rwx------` instead of `-rw-r--
 r--`? That's wrong.

 Note that in MacPorts, the wine port is at version 1.6.1 and the wine-
 devel port is at version 1.7.8. So you won't be getting wine version 1.2,
 but that's ok; you should probably be using the latest stable version
 anyway.
