When I run portmaster with --check-depends or --check-port-dbdir as a non-root user portmaster will continue to attempt to write to the db dir. For example ===>>> Checking jpeg-8_1 ===>>> Updating +REQUIRED_BY install: /var/db/pkg/jpeg-8_1/+REQUIRED_BY: Permission denied portmaster should check before it goes through the whole process and see if it has write access to /var/db/ports.
