Comment:

 Sorry I missed this when it was submitted, but glad you've found the
 explanation. As far as I know nothing has changed; as I said in
 comment:ticket:49501:1 as far as we know it is illegal to use a backslash
 in a group name on UNIX. Your system administrators need to fix this. The
 reporter of #49501 said in comment:ticket:49501:2 that he got no response
 from his IT department when he asked them to do this. Maybe if more people
 report the problem to them they will finally respond. MacPorts and the
 entire open source community cannot be expected to modify their software
 to work with illegal user/group names.
