The change is committed to the Subversion repository, but changes  
only get copied to the rsync server a couple times a day. I'm not  
sure what schedule it's currently on, but if you wait 12 hours, then  
you'll be sure the change is available. Then you "sudo port sync" to  
retrieve the fixed portfile, then "sudo port -ncuf upgrade mysql5" to  
reinstall mysql5 with the fix. That should do it.

I'm not sure what output "port sync" is supposed to print, actually.  
I have my MacPorts set to use Subversion, not rsync, for the ports  
tree, so I see different output than you would.
