#46524: Permission denied for re-naming operation

--------------------------+--------------------------------
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.
