 I keep getting this error - Error: Unable to open port: invalid command
 name "vercmp"
 when I try to install ffmpeg (sudo port install ffmpeg) or if I try to
 upgrade this libsdl (sudo port upgrade libsdl)

 I have updated to latest ports doing (sudo port selfupdate) followed by a
 (sudo port upgrade outdated) and even ran (sudo port sync)

 OS I'm using is Mac OS X Lion and installed using trunk base when Lion was
 still very new .. Any help, please.

 Thanks!
