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 Here is a new log of 'port outdated'.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MacPorts base version 1.700 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700 The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated ( Porticus menu item 'Self Update' being done) % port outdated The following installed ports are outdated: bash 4.0.0_0 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 Why does 'port outdated' command work correct only after selfupdating by Porticus , even after 'sudo port sync' or 'sudo port selfupdate.'
