$ sudo port mdmg gnucash

<lots of log>
...
The package could not be created because of the following errors:
Root directory
"/opt/quartz/var/macports/build/_opt_quartz_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_zlib/work/destroot"
is not valid.

--->  Creating disk image for gnucash-2.2.8

The image has been created, but I'm not sure about the content because
lots of packages showed the error above. Maybe for package creation one
needs the archiving mode enabled.

Btw, I'm o 1.4.11 if this matters.
