Comment (by braumann@…):

 In my macports.conf on my old 10.5.8. PPC I found this definition line not
 commented out:
 {{{
 # Set the user to run MacPorts compiles, etc as when privileges are
 dropped during an install
 macportsuser           root
 }}}
 After simply putting a leading # here like
 {{{
 #macportsuser           root
 }}}
 I cleaned
 {{{
 sudo port clean coreutils
 }}}
 and called again
 {{{
 sudo port upgrade coreutils
 }}}
 by this doing a smooth upgrade.

 However, I have a {{{macports}}} installation since more than five years
 and I never ever had to manually touch the {{{macports.conf}}} before. So
 I have no idea why this line was previously not commented out, and I also
 have no idea about possible side effects which may arise from my
 manipulation.

 I also need to say that on a much more recent {{{macports}}} installation
 on a 10.6.8 i386 initially made in 2013 this line was commented out, so no
 problems had occurred during the upgrade of {{{coreutils}}} to version
 8.23_0.
