I have installed macports 1.8.0 in $HOME/.macports as I do not have

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.macports --with-install-user=$USER --

readline
Everything seems to have installed fine, but when I uninstall ports
I get a rather worrying error message, e.g.
$ port uninstall bzip2
---> Deactivating bzip2 @1.0.5_2+darwin
Error: port uninstall failed: error deleting "/Users": permission
denied
and the port does not uninstall (still listed in the output of "port
installed"). My /Users directory appears to be otherwise intact,
although the error message is far from reassuring!
Is there a workaround to enable me to uninstall ports? And what does
the error message mean?
Is /Users a symlink? If so, this is:
