Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

After updating to Yosemite I have many problems running several programs. I was trying to install them again with MacPorts but:

Trying to run 'ports update'

"Permission denied"... what are the permissions of that directory?

Here are the permissions from my working system:

$ ls -ld /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
drwxr-xr-x  9 root  admin  306 Nov  8 14:38 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs

What do yours look like?

Hi,

my permissions are like yours:

drwxr-xr-x  10 root  admin  340 Nov 12  2013 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs

In the end, I have decided to downgrade Yosemite and go back to Mavericks. My programs (specially those needing X11) work well with Maverick. Curiously, now that I'm back with Mavericks it doesn't find 'ports' ... I guess it got lost in the downgrade and I will need to re-install it.

It looks like you ran the command with your standard user. Don't forget to execute it as root:

sudo port selfupdate
