I'm not sure how that happened for you. Browsing the tag on GitHub, it
says 2.4.3 in the appropriate places.

<https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.4.3/config/macports_version>
<https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.4.3/configure#L2790>

Are you sure your shell didn't cache the location of port? Check with
'type port'. (Using 'which' tells you where it would be found if you
cleared the cache.)
