They are scheduled for upgrade to 8 or 9. I just replied to Bapt's comment that he got it to work in 7.x, because I had seen the same problem as Vikas.

So this env problem was just a bug in portmaster? Ok, I didn't know that, I thought it was a general problem with dialog4ports. Then I'm sorry I called it a POLA violation. However I still think that this change in the ports environment could have justified a mention in UPDATING, since CHANGES is aimed at developers and committers, not ordinary users like myself.
