Please don't reopen this ticket. The bug tracker is not the place for this kind of discussion.

So... you were trying to install fetchmail? Did you try to clean fetchmail, as the error message said?
Unless you specifically installed MacPorts to run as a different user, MacPorts runs as root, which means you must prefix your "port" commands with "sudo", as in "sudo port install fetchmail" or "sudo port clean fetchmail". (The notice "MacPorts running without privileges" means you were not doing this.)
