Description

This happens to me after installing macports binary .dmg, as well as after successfully building macports from source. It happens no matter what package I try to install:

Looks like you might have started the build as root and now are using privilege dropping (as is the default in MacPorts 2.0). Try cleaning.

Check permissions on all the parent dirs of /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_atlas/atlas/work/.macports.atlas.state as well. They all need to allow rx for everyone.
