I have no idea; you tell me... My schedule is: Sunday I "port -u uninstall" to clean out old versions, then Monday I "port selfupdate" which tells me to run "port upgrade outdated" (and sometimes offers to clean up some space). I do not otherwise fiddle with MacPorts, because I do not know enough to do so (I know my limits). Therefore, any problem could only have been introduced my MacPorts itself... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
