#46524: Permission denied for re-naming operation
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  JadeNB1729@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:                |       Port:
--------------------------+--------------------------------
 When I try to install smartmontools, it fails with the error:
 {{{
 error renaming
 "/$MACPORTS/base/var/macports/software/smartmontools/mpextractmK1e9ldZ/$MACPORTS/base/var/run/.turd_smartmontools"
 to "/$MACPORTS/base/var/run/.turd_smartmontools": permission denied
 }}}
 I don't think that this can be smartmontools-specific, but other ports
 seem to install without problems.  I have not intentionally modified any
 permissions, but, indeed, the relevant directory is not world-writeable:
 {{{
 $ ls -ld $MACPORTS/var/run
 drwxr-xr-x 3 root everyone 102 Dec 21 17:11 $MACPORTS/var/run
 }}}
 I installed, and run, MacPorts without root privileges.  The only
 exception is dbus, which I installed as root because the install failed
 without root privileges.
