New description:

 I just installed a fresh MacPorts 2.0.3 install on a new MacBook Pro
 running Lion 10.7.1.

 I then installed imagemagick and Pallet.

 'port installed' lists imagemagick as installed:
 {{{
   ...
   gperf @3.0.4_2 (active)
   help2man @1.40.4_1 (active)
   imagemagick @6.7.2-0_0+q16 (active)
   jpeg @8c_0 (active)
   lame @3.98.4_0 (active)
   ...
 }}}

 However Pallet does not. Searching or sorting for 'state is installed'
 lists:
   ...
 {{{
   gperf
   help2man
   jpeg
   lame
   ...
 }}}

 ...elsewhere, ImageMagick (not 'imagemagick') is listed as not installed.
 My guess is that this is a case sensitivity issue. If MacPorts allows
 'imagemagick' to be installed and then lists it, then either macports
 should enforce correct case on install (ImageMagick) or else Pallet should
 be able to recognize case-insensitive matches to the installed list.
