Py Setup Tools uninstall snag during port uninstall inactive

"no matching architecture in universal wrapper while executing"

port clean all stops at py25-mayavi

port clean all stops at py25-mayavi and displays the message

Error: Unable to open port: Port remote fetch failed: You do not have permission to write to /opt/local/var/macports/portdirs
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

port clean py25-mayavi does the same thing. py2{6,7}-mayavi do not have this problem.

Newbie question

Is there a way to make a port compiled program start maximized and
with no terminal in background ?

Examples
1)  if start gkrellm it will start inside a terminal and the terminal
will be there until i close the GUI.
2) kmymoney always start half outside the screen and with no focus.

Help with Lion's symbolic links

I apologize for raising an issue that is not specific to macports, but
Google hasn't provided me an answer. In any case, after upgrading my
system to Lion I find that I can no longer save to symbolic links to a
directory in standard Mac GUI applications. So, for instance, I might
have dir_orig as a directory in my home directory and create (using ln
-s) dir_link which points to dir_orig. When I'm in some Mac app and
hit command-S to save (e.g. in Word), I see that dir_link is grayed
out and I can't save my file into it. Permissions on both the link and
the original directory are fine (I can set both to world rwx and it's
still a problem). I found some mentions of this problem on Google, but
no solutions or explanations. I can work around it by changing
symbolic links to aliases, but it will be a serious headache if I have
to do that for all of them. Have others here met with this problem?
Any solutions?

Thanks!

So you meant the link on install page.

Your download seems actually fine, what does the following lines output?
 hdiutil attach MacPorts-2.0.3-10.7-Lion.dmg

> And, btw, the combo updater for OS X 10.7.3 did not fix the problem.

I wasn't expecting it to do that.
