Given that file @5.05 is the current version, how does one "roll back" the file port to version @5.04 in Mac Ports?

Can you do something like, say,

sudo port uninstall file
sudo port install --version @5.04 file

or not?  (I'm hesitant to try it because "mediatomb" depends on "file".)

Since file 5.05 cannot recognize single-architecture executables either, I'd very much like to roll it back until the current version functions correctly.

/usr/bin/file: Mach-O fat file with 2 architectures

(It would also be nice if file 5.05 identified *which* 2 architectures were in the fat files it still recognizes, like the Mac OS X "file" does.)
