This seems a bit tedious. Is there a better fix? This shouldn't be happening at all. What port(s) is giving you a problem? The _1 isn't included in the actual version of the installed port. This is only used for FreeBSD port purposes. The version reported by the libxml-config or the like should be 1.8.17.
