xfig / date / libintl problem on a MacBook Pro

[Keith J. Schultz]

Hi John,

	Nobody, said that MacPort is completely bug free. But, it is not a buggy system anymore.
	Some of its problem are part of a complicated system of port distribution. The system is getting better and better.
	There is no fool proof system for the work what MacPorts does.

	Sorry, I you felt I was being offensive. 

	I find it great that you are still active after 77 years. Kept going. 

	regards
		Keith.

I've accepted MacPorts as a developmental work in progress and accept all that means. I just work around the various hang ups, use what works for me, and wait for better times. After seventy-seven years, what else is there to do?
