Comment (by joemirizio@…):

 Experiencing this same issue with a subset of ports I was upgrading. Most
 installed fine, but others failed during the extraction.

 Example:
 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_private_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_devel_git-core/git-core/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc
 '/opt/l     ocal/var/macports/distfiles/git-core/git-1.8.3.4.tar.gz' |
 /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: git-1.8.3.4: Cannot mkdir: Operation not
 permitted
 }}}

 I am running 10.6 (v2.2.0) and my prefix is ''not'' symlinked. After
 adding {{{sandbox_enable no}}} to my {{{macports.conf}}}, it seemed to
 work. What does this option do?
