----------------------+--------------------
 On Big Sur, Gatekeeper is preventing MacPorts from installing things in
 the /Applications directory.
 To work around this, I've updated /opt/local/etc/macports.conf to specify
 application_dir to be /opt/local/Applications/MacPorts.  However, despite
 this change to the config file, MacPorts still tried to install python to
 /Applications/MacPorts.


 Error: Failed to activate python39: can't create directory
 "/Applications/MacPorts": not owner
 Error: See
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python39/python39/main.log
 for details.
