If you can, please file these as Trac tickets on the MacPorts website  
[1] (you'll need to create an account to do so) or, failing that,  
email the port maintainers.  The problem is that the ports are  
installing files outside MacPorts' prescribed directory layout;  
raising this as an error is new in the latest release of MacPorts.

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
