Is there a way to get the previous version of any package?

Okay.  That's the version I got.

My PPC is now busy doing something else so I followed the HowTo  
instructions on an Intel MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and  
Xcode 3.2.1 but which has the same issues with its recently MacPorts- 
installed Wireshark.  I downloaded and moved the Portfile for r62696  
into a directory named ~/DevelopmentSandbox/zlib/, then did a

cd ~/DevelopmentSandbox/zlib/

and then

sudo port -v install

and got an error.  Using the -d switch, I got the following.  Any  
pointers are appreciated.

sudo port -vd install
