You're missing his main point though. He was not complaining that it
was installing 2.2.2 from the old-version directory, he was complaining
that what was actually installed was version 2.0.10.
Unfortunately he cut off the log so we can't see WHICH file was downloaded
from old-versions, but if it DID download samba-2.2.2.tar.gz, then there
was still something odd going on if he was ending up with samba 2.0.10.
(I don't think it is fixable in the port, because it would only effect
people who have an older snapshot of the port. But maybe there is
something wrong with the file in the old-versions directory, and maybe
that could be tracked down).
