 Tons of PR builds are failing on the 10.14 Azure Pipelines CI worker.

 The bootstrap phase of installing and setting up MacPorts has this error,
 which does not prevent the process from continuing:

 https://dev.azure.com/macports/b674ed54-8ab2-4ec0-8010-7d35a798a53c/_apis/build/builds/10370/logs/13

 {{{
 Creating group "macports"
 Creating user "macports"
 <dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)
 create: Invalid Path
 }}}

 This leads to a warning during the build:

 https://paste.z0k.xyz/e04e04afc651

 {{{
 Warning: configured user/group macports does not exist, will build as root
 }}}

 Some ports like dbus (and presumably others that use `add_users`) fail to
 install due to whatever condition is causing this:

 The Azure Pipelines 10.15 builders are not having these problems.

 I've reported it here:

 https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1240111/ds-
 error-14009-edsunknownnodename.html

 I hope that's the right place to report Azure Pipelines issues.
