Comment:

 This continues to affect us; see https://lists.macports.org/pipermail
 /macports-users/2024-October/053091.html

 Josh, can we apply the workaround from the pari port globally in MacPorts
 base?

 {{{#!tcl
 pre-install {
     if {[getuid] == 0 && [file exists /usr/sbin/purge]} {
         system "/usr/sbin/purge"
     }
 }
 }}}

 That will only fix root MacPorts installations but that's better than
 nothing and at least avoids us creating corrupted archives on our build
 servers.

 We could make the fix more specific and check first if the filesystem
 where the files to be tarred are located is APFS.
