I had to reinstall Mac OS X (10.6.8, Snow Leopard) and did it from a
TimeMachine backup. I tried to preserve UIDs and GIDs by first logging in
as some temporary user, but Migration Assistant mixed things up:
{{{
pete 138 /\ dscl . -read /Users/macports

dsAttrTypeNative:_writers_jpegphoto: macports

pete 140 /\ dscl . -read /Groups/macports

}}}
So when I uninstalled old and deactivated packages port would the warning
in the subject. I fixed this by running
{{{
dscl . change /Users/macports PrimaryGroupID 502 501
}}}
Is there more to perform? Like a 'chown -R ...'
