Instead I saw this output from portversion: ruby+pthreads-1.8.5.12,1 > succeeds port (port has 1.8.6) It appears that (1.8.6,1) has been replaced by (1.8.6) during the day and this has inaccurately taged my (1.8.5)-installation as newer than the one in ports. What might be the cause of this? /Marcus Ahlberg
