When using mdmg option several packages show up as 0k in the installer

[programmingkidx]

After making a binary installer for GCC 4.8 I saw several packages appears as 0k in the installer.

The 0k packages:

• cctools
• ld64
• ld64-97
• libiconv
• zlib

This is the command I used: sudo port mdmg gcc48.

When I tried again I saw an error: attachment:main.log​

This is the log that the error message told me to open.

The main.log you attached is not complete, but it says the problem is "Permission denied". Are you sure you used sudo on those attempts?

As for why packages might show up as 0K, I'm not sure. Does the package still install correctly?

[programmingkidx]

I do use sudo in my attempts.

The installer shows some of the packages as 0k on Mac OS 10.4. When I ran the installer on Mac OS 10.12, the size was normal looking. The installed software does appear to work.

Replying to programmingkidx:

The installer shows some of the packages as 0k on Mac OS 10.4.

If that's not a typo, then I would say that Mac OS X 10.4 is very old and it's certainly possible that its installer had some bugs that were fixed in later OS versions.
