Description
On a system where ports are installed by and for a local user account, the netpbm Port fails to install:
[...] :info:destroot chown: /Users/XXX/macports/var/macports/build/_Users_ XXX_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_netpbm/libnetpbm/work/destroot: Operation not permitted :info:destroot Command failed: chown -R 'root':'admin' /Users/XXX/macports/var/macports/build/_Users_ XXX_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_netpbm/libnetpbm/work/destroot
Seems to come from this https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/graphics/netpbm/Portfile#L184 chown command in the Portfile.
As explained in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/69601, netpbm has somehow become a dependency for some popular CLI tools which normally shouldn't even need netpbm.
