 The ncid port is at version 0.70. "`port distfiles ncid`" says this:

 {{{
 $ port distfiles ncid
 --->  Distfiles for ncid
 [ncid-0.70.tar.gz]
  md5: e179fbac6ab04ed3015fdf4e1c2a33f6
  sha1: 287ebd8181f94be6a252edb10bf8b3593ac50d60
  rmd160: 3da3269e9c8dd1da1c9ddf3b1e7be180230979a9
   http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ncid/ncid-0.70.tar.gz
 [snip other download locations]
 }}}

 I edited the portfile and updated the version to 0.71. Now "`port
 distfiles ncid`" says this:

 {{{
 $ port distfiles ncid
 Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.
 --->  Distfiles for ncid
 [ncid-0.71.tar.gz]
  md5: e179fbac6ab04ed3015fdf4e1c2a33f6
  sha1: 287ebd8181f94be6a252edb10bf8b3593ac50d60
  rmd160: 3da3269e9c8dd1da1c9ddf3b1e7be180230979a9
   http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ncid/ncid-0.71.tar.gz
 [snip other download locations]
 }}}

 I see two problems:

  1. It did not attempt to fetch ncid-0.71.tar.gz
  2. Even if I "`port fetch ncid`" to get the new distfile, it is still
 showing the checksums of ncid-0.70.tar.gz; it should show the checksums of
 ncid-0.71.tar.gz

 Or do I misunderstand how "`port distfiles`" is meant to work?
