Comment (by AgilentGCMS):

 No, I was never a part of the `admin` group, because that's forbidden by
 my work policy. The last version of macports I installed myself was 2.9.3,
 after that the version has been automatically updated by `port selfupdate
 && port upgrade outdated`. Looking at my invocation of the `configure`
 script for 2.9.3, I see I called
 {{{
 ./configure --enable-readline
 --prefix=/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma --with-no-root-privileges
 }}}
 All the files in the source tree where I built macports have
 `sbasu1:staff`. Looking into my macports installation tree,
 `/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma`, file ownership changed from
 `sbasu1:staff` to `sbasu1:admin` on October 8, 2024. I.e., files written
 before that date are `sbasu1:staff`, and files written after that are
 `sbasu1:admin`. I don't know macports managed that or why, given that I
 was never in the `admin` group.

 And now I've changed the ownership of __all__ files and folder in
 `/Users/sbasu1/packages/macports/sonoma` to `sbasu1:staff`, but
 `libnetpbm` still wants to chown to `sbasu1:admin`, and I don't know why.
