In general it's not a good idea to replace Apple software with MacPorts versions, but in this particular case that's probably ok to do since it's just a minor version bump to fix a bug. You may want to look at "port contents bzip2" to see what all other files you may also want to copy / replace. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
