Thanks for this fix, I hope it makes it into the next release.

Also thanks for this fix, but we should remember it means all the
portfiles will need to be updated after this fix when the next version
of macports is released.

I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the documentation but it should
also be displayed on the "New ticket" page. So it's clear for the
reporter of the ticket to add this.

I just did some search in Trac and send the links for the tickes to
macports-dev. I also CCed the maintainers if the ports had one.

Thanks for your help,
