	So, you installed MacPorts 1.6.0 from source on Panther and then with  
that installation attempted to build the dmg? Gotta love bugs while  
bootstrapping! ;-)

	I thought you had 1.5.2 or earlier installed and were working off  
that. But in any case,....

	All these patches are minor and will shortly end up in the  
release_1_6 branch, so I don't think there's any problem in having  
them in this not-so-stock 1.6.0 Panther dmg. Thanks for the hard work!

	Sure thing, thanks for adding the note to the ReleaseProcess file.

	Done!

	Yes. See http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-January/008206.html
