Thank you for clarifying.  Yes, I agree on that 
the log is not to the point.

However I have found there is still something wrong
with MacPorts on my mac. Here is a new log 
of 'port outdated'.

% sudo port sync
Password:
% sudo port selfupdate

MacPorts base version 1.700 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700

The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated

( Porticus menu item 'Self Update' being done)

% port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated: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


The new log keeps  me confused. Why does 'port outdated' command work correct 
only after selfupdating by Porticus ,  even after 'sudo port sync' or 'sudo port selfupdate.'
