macintosh:~ frstan$ port list active | grep rarian
rarian                         @0.8.0          textproc/rarian
macintosh:~ frstan$
and I previously reported:
macintosh:~ frstan$ port installed rarian
The following ports are currently installed:
   rarian @0.8.0_0 (active)
macintosh:~ frstan$
which runs somewhat faster btw.

ok,I tried Guido's suggestion and uninstalled (-f) rarian and  
reinstalled it.
Now both bug-buddy and gnome-applets upgrade ok!
THANK YOU GUIDO :D

I'll go on with my upgrades of the other 5 programs I previously  
reported but so far this does seem to fix the problem.
Im sorry to have been so "persnickkidy" Randall. I know you do a LOT  
of work for the MacPorts system, and I appreciate that.
Still and all, can you imagine how frustrated I felt when after doing  
"what I was told to do" suddenly program after program would not  
upgrade AND the path back to the old system was blocked? AND nobody  
seemed to believe there was a real problem?

best regards
