Description
(OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4, MP 1.9.1)
After upgrading from MP version 1.8.2 to 1.9.1 and trying to upgrade or install any port,
"sudo port ..." command fails to create the build directory for that port. For example:
Error: Unable to upgrade port: can't create directory \ "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources\ _rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_perl5.12": permission denied
I'm able to mkdir directories myself, so the permission are ok (root:admin).

Goldendragon's configuration is set to run MacPortsUser as himself, instead of root. This is likely the culprit, however it had worked fine in 1.8.2 and I believe 1.8.0 is when we added the dropping of privs. Weird combination or has the behavior changed?
