Installation of Macports appears to be corrupted.

[Anand Pathak Sharma]

Hi everyone!

I cannot figure out what and how happened to cause this issue but today, 
out of the perceived blue, I found that my local nginx/mysql servers 
installed via macports have stopped working. I have a feeling this may 
be related to the user/group ownership of the files in question.

I tried uninstalling Nginx then re-installing it and received the 
following error:

    /Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
    /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/www/nginx/Portfile/

On a whim, I tried doing the same for another port and received the same 
message:

    /Error: Unable to execute port: Could not open file:
    /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/php/php-timezonedb/Portfile/

I moved into the directory, 
"/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports" 
and checked the ownership of the files in it and they are set to:

    /root:rvm/

When viewing the ownership of macport files in parent directories, I see 
that they are set to:

    /root:admin/

This inconsistency makes me feel that somehow ownership has changed and 
caused these issues.

I'd greatly appreciate some assistance with working out this matter.

Many thanks!
