Description
macOS Catalina 10.15.2
Xcode 11.3 (11C29)
MacPorts 2.6.2 installed using:
export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
MP_PREFIX=/Users/mark/MacPorts
./configure --with-no-root-privileges --prefix=${MP_PREFIX} --with-applications-dir=${MP_PREFIX}/Applications --without-startupitems --enable-readline --enable-shared
make
make install
Attempting to install shellcheck pulls stack in as a dependency but the stack installation fails with:
DEBUG: Executing proc-pre-org.macports.checksum-checksum-0
Error: Failed to checksum stack: xinstall: Unknown user macports
DEBUG: Error code: NONE
DEBUG: Backtrace: xinstall: Unknown user macports
while executing
"$pre $targetname"
Error: See /Users/mark/MacPorts/var/macports/logs/_Users_mark_MacPorts_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_lang_stack/stack/main.log for details.
main.log from running port -dt install stack attached. dscl . list /users confirms the macports user doesn't exist.
I see the same error on a machine with MacPorts 2.6.2, macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and Xcode 10.3 (10G8).
Shout if I can provide any more info!

In 569f76b146a5436aa49822c3397548a5e3cbaafe/macports-ports (dar, master, py38-reproject, revert-6945-rust-1.43.0, wireshark):
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The bug is in the gpg_verify portgroup and so would affect all ports using it. I'm not sure why it's considered necessary to add a gnupg2 dependency for all users of these ports instead of relying on the checksums like other ports.
