Yeah, that's what I also realised thinking about it some more (and then saw it confirmed when `-n` had the intended effect).

Yess, that was it. It's possible that I hadn't yet added a version number when I portindexed it, and never repeated the operation because that doesn't appear to be necessary for version bumps.

I'm wondering about the port, though. I saw that libpgf appears to be part of something called pgf which isn't the same thing already present as port:pgf . I hope there's no unwritten rule that states I should propose a port for the full monty, with libpgf a subport?
