cannot build anything after upgrade to macports 2.2.1 after upgrade osx from 10.6.8 to 10.9

[daholm@…]

Hey,

after upgrading osx from 10.6.8 to 10.9 and updating macports to 2.2.1 (through installer package) i am not able to build/upgrade any package.

I have checked the permissions for user macports under /opt/local/ all seems fine.

But the build-process stops for every package at the point to create directories in the work directory:

I also removed the whole macports with all installed packages, but also after reinstalling from blank - macports does not build a package because of the same failure.

=== shell output while trying to install bzip2 ===
sudo port install bzip2
--->  Extracting bzip2
Error: org.macports.extract for port bzip2 returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port bzip2 for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Volumes_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_archivers_bzip2/bzip2/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port bzip2 failed
=== end shell output ===

Attached you can find the mail.log from building bzip2.

Did you follow all the steps in wiki:Migration?

Your MacPorts prefix is symlinked. Duplicate of #39850.

Thanks a lot.

Changing the variables (in macports.conf) "prefix" and "portdbpath" to the not symlinked location solves this issue.

I hope passing the absolute path to all objects referring to "/opt/local" is not necessary.
