That works and I see the contents of the directory.  And, just in  
case, since I'm using sudo to run Macports, I tried it with sudo and  
it worked as well.  I even logged into a terminal tab as root and  
tried it from there, just to be clear there was no user issue there.

I ran it, both as root and as my user name, again in case there's an  
issue with user rights or anything like that.  Then I ran it again  
under my user account and it asked for the question again.  So I ran  
it another time.  Each time I run it, I pick "p" yet the next time it  
still asks again.

However, I went on and tried to install Amarok again after that and as  
I write this it is configuring taglib.

Ok, I'm lying.  Now it's building taglib.  Anyway, it's working.

It appears like there is a problem with the certificate, since I got  
that message each time I ran the command above.  It wasn't a problem  
with the first command, but is with the 2nd one.

Is it possible you have something else already installed that is  
making use of something similar?

And thanks for the help on this!  I just checked the status and now  
it's building Amarok.  Since that's what I was trying to install in  
the first place, I would expect that to be the last package for it to  
fetch.
