It probably doesn't matter too much. port still believes you've got  
xar installed,
and the 1.4.1 upgrade wrote a new copy of xar over itself, which  
shouldn't hurt
anything.

Due to troubles building xar on panther (without the libxml2  
dependency),
I'm going to pull the xar build out of MacPorts 1.4.2. So I think if  
you just
sit tight you can pretend nothing happened.
