 Was trying to install dbus and I ran into the dscl error
 `eDSRecordAlreadyExists`:
 {{{

 Error: Failed to install dbus: dscl failed to create required user

 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe

 Error: Processing of port dbus failed
 }}}

 Running `dscl . -read /Users/_messagebus` returns `eDSRecordNotFound` so
 the user record definitely wasn't created. This was also happening to me
 with the port `postgresql10-server` and the `_postgres` user.

 I've attached the `main.log` file for review.
