Description

Hello,

It seems you can't install Virtualbox if you're not root: 

Error: org.macports.activate for port virtualbox returned: VirtualBox requires the "/Users/prudloff/Applications/MacPorts" directory and its parent directories to be root:admin owned and not world writeable.

Regards,

Shouldn't we edit the port to give a warning before the build phase ?
