	Hello Yves! Are you still seeing this behavior? It could be either a 
bug in Pextlib's rpm-vercomp() function (maybe not properly handling 
4-tuple version numbers?) that port(1) calls to perform the actual 
version comparison between installed and distributed ports (most 
likely), or a bug in the action_updated proc in port(1) itself that 
sets up the comparison in the first place (less likely).

	Please test with 1.4-rc2 sources and if it's still a problem file a 
ticket about it assigned to the 1.4 milestone, thanks!

	Regards,...
