Install flaked? ports no longer knows what I've already installed?

[specialham at gmail.com]

Hey all... some weirdness going on here. I've had macports installed for 
some time, I've installed several packages using it. They are all still 
there and working (ie BitchX, wget, etc). Today I went to install lynx 
and I got:

[...]
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: 
/opt/local/bin/c_rehash already exists and does not belong to a 
registered port.  Unable to activate port openssl.
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: openssl
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Now.. openssl has already been installed and is present. It's like ports 
has amnesia or some such. When I run port installed it gives me:

The following ports are currently installed:
   ncurses @5.6_0+darwin_8 (active)
   ncursesw @5.6_0+darwin_8 (active)
   openssl @0.9.8e_0+darwin_8
   readline @5.2.001_0 (active)
   zlib @1.2.3_1

none of my other packages are listed! Where's wget? Where's BitchX?

I re-ran the package installer figuring that I'd lose that info or some 
such and just reinstall installed packages so that port would be aware 
of them but.. nothing changed.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
