python27: tries to install in /Applications on non-root macports

[abdullahfy@…]

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as in #29057.

My OXS:

$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.9.1

My application_dir in macports configuration file:

$ pwd
/net/iconium/rd3/software/macports/OSX_10.9/x86_64/etc/macports
$ grep applications_di macports.conf
applications_dir    	/net/iconium/rd3/software/macports/OSX_10.9/x86_64/Applications

And, only with python27 port ,I'm still getting this error:

$ port clean python27
--->  Cleaning python27
$ port install python27
--->  Computing dependencies for python27
--->  Activating python27 @2.7.6_0
Error: org.macports.activate for port python27 returned: can't create directory "/Applications/Python 2.7": permission denied
Please see the log file for port python27 for details:
    /net/iconium/rd3/software/macports/OSX_10.9/x86_64/var/macports/logs/_net_iconium_rd3_software_macports_OSX_10.9_x86_64_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port python27 failed

You output shows python27 already installed. If you changed applications_dir after installing it, you need to uninstall and install again. If that still doesn’t fix the problem, run

sudo port destroot python27

and attach the main.log.
