Description
As the summary states, my entire /opt filestructure is overwritten when I install an MPKG. For example, I created an MPKG of Gaim 1.5.0 and then installed it. Darwinports is gone, along with the subsystem for my VPN and some other self-compiled stuff. Due to the b0rking of the other stuff, I would almost call this a critical bug.

I note you mention a VPN is in /opt, is this Cisco's VPN? If so, I doubt everything was blown away, but was due to Cisco's installer moving things around in an odd way. See the DP FAQ in the wiki at

and look for Cisco on that page.
I saw that bug, but my experience is a bit different in this case. The Cisco VPNClient and DarwinPorts had been coexisting for quite a few months with no problems. It was only when I ran the Gaim MPKG that my /opt dir was blown away.

Not a problem with MacPorts.
