port outdated command works propely after Porticus being installed.

[Kuniaki Mukai]

Here is a command line log of MacPorts.

% port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
mpfr                           2.4.1-p2_0 < 2.4.1-p4_0   
% sudo port selfupdate
Password:

MacPorts base version 1.700 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700

The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated
% sudo port sync

(Launch Porticus and do the menu item  selfupdate, which 
shows only bash and graphviz are outdated. )

% port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
bash                           4.0.0_0 < 4.0.10_0        
graphviz                       2.22.0_0 < 2.22.1_0       
mpfr                           2.4.1-p2_0 < 2.4.1-p4_0   
% 

It seems that this log still suggests that 'port outdated' command
works correct only after Porticus selfupdate menu being done, 
as I suspect.

Yes, I did.  I will do it for sure whether it is reproducible even  now
or not.
