openjpeg needs root to upgrade

[yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)]

One shouldn't need to be root to stage and install a graphics library.

I am sorry that I never commented on this ticket.
I don't know how I missed it.

openjpeg tries to install as the same user and group who installed MacPorts (not the person running the port command).
Unless MacPorts was installed with the arguments --with-install-user=... and --with-install-group=...,
This would be the root user and admin group.

If my assessment is wrong, and you did in fact install MacPorts as a non-root user, please reopen the ticket.
I will reply faster this time.
