 If the livecheck regex doesn't match, it says the software seems to have
 been updated to version "0". This portfile:

 {{{
 PortSystem              1.0
 name                    foo
 version                 1.0

 livecheck.check         regex
 livecheck.url           http://www.macports.org
 livecheck.regex         foobar
 }}}

 Gives this output in MacPorts built from [browser:trunk/base at 34550 trunk
 r34550]:

 {{{
 $ port livecheck
 foo seems to have been updated (port version: 1.0, new version: 0)
 $
 }}}

 Running in MacPorts 1.6.0 I get this better message:

 {{{
 $ sudo port livecheck
 Error: cannot check if foo was updated (regex didn't match)
 $
 }}}

 My guess is this problem was introduced with r34331 so I'm assigning the
 ticket to Rainer.
