It's basically a bug that it tries to write the statefile when doing a livecheck. The reason why this hasn't been fixed is it requires some significant changes to the targets subsystem to fix.

It's non-intuitive that it would have to write anything to disk when all
I'm asking it to do is check the contents of some remote web sites.

I suppose that it's for a cache. I wonder if there shouldn't be a
macports group so that regular users could be added to this group
and no longer need to sudo.
