When running port from within the Apple Security Frameworks, I get

How should I mark this when I report it as an error in trac to
ensure proper action?
I guess I've never heard of "the Apple Security Frameworks." What
is that?
Do you have a HOME environment variable set to the correct value?
The Apple Security Frameworks are the
Security Foundation Framework
Security Framework
Security Interface Framework
and are used by Applications, Preference Panes, and Installers to
authenticate users, and to request privilege escalation for a task.
My $HOME environment variable is correctly set, but the Security
Frameworks do not set this variable. When I 'sudo port ...' it works.
BTW: port creates the ~/.macports directory with root ownership, but
should create it with the same ownership as the $HOME directory.
