I'd like to report the following error (and unexpected) messages which 
occured during an upgrade of `ion3' (which is a _really_ nice X11 window 
manager (maybe the way vi is a nice editor, though)).

`port selfupdate' had just been run. platform is  G5 and 10.4.8. I have 
inserted my points as "shell comments" in the `port' messages:

sudo port upgrade ion3
Password:

Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.
### question: what does the last line mean?

### question: is the above error relevant? or is the portfile for ion3
### not quite OK?


for the moment, the above error messages seem to have no consequences 
(the upgrade succeeded and ion3 seems to run fine) but I just wanted to 
bring this to the attention of the list, just in case ...

regards,
joerg
