Even as root, you get various "operation not permitted" errors when
following the uninstall directions for catalina here:
[https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html].
{{{
rm: /opt/local//var/macports/home/Library/Preferences: Operation not
permitted
}}}
The problem is SIP permissions:
[https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/342090/sip-preventing-deletion-
of-opt-local]
The solution is to simply move the deletion of macports users before the
deletion of the directories.
