Can not remove MacPorts under Mojave ...

[S. L. Garwood]

A follow up to my previous posting … 

I was trying to uninstall MacPorts using the command list in the Documentation->Uninstall part of the web site …
Had errors that looked like permissions problems. Logged on as system administrator and it worked.
Its different behavior from High Sierra - my normal userid is sudo enabled in /etc/sudo
I normally copy/paste the long string of ‘rm’ commands in the document. Up to now it (i.e., High Sierra) it worked ok.

Maybe the docs need to be updated?

I installed the new Macports bundle mentioned in Josha Root’s email.
Install went fine, but now it will not uninstall — doing the “rm” commands in /opt/local gets a series of errors 

rm: /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences: Operation not permitted
rm: /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library: Operation not permitted
rm: /opt/local/var/macports/home: Operation not permitted
rm: /opt/local/var/macports: Directory not empty
rm: /opt/local/var: Directory not empty
