After installing the MacPorts package for macOS High Sierra, I discovered that 
the ownership of all system directories were changed to root:wheel.  I can no 
longer build something simple as mtr without encountering the following error.

SPIELPLATZ:~ mcc$ port install mtr
Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
SPIELPLATZ:~ mcc$ 

The version of mtr I built using the MacPorts package for macOS Sierra worked 
fine until I removed it.  It now gets an error of not being able to obtain a 
raw socket.

My CCC backup of my system disk made just after completing the upgrade to macOS 
shows all files in / owned by mcc:root.  After installing the MacPorts package, 
all files in / are owned by root:wheel.
