 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.
