user macports problem after migration to new Mac

[Murray Eisenberg]

Sorry for my error. I get, in fact:

    $ echo ~macports
/opt/local/var/macports/home

    $ ls -al ~macports
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 macports  macports  102 Dec 10 16:01 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 12 root      admin     408 Dec 10 16:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 root      admin     102 Dec 10 16:01 Library

  $ ls -al ~macports/Library
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root      admin     102 Dec 10 16:01 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 macports  macports  102 Dec 10 16:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root      admin      68 Dec 10 17:18 Preferences

Is that what’s expected?
