Hi,

"port list" doesn't do what you think it does:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#portlist

You want "port installed inactive" instead.

yeah, I knew that, my mistake... Its just 'port list' makes such sense grammatically, it slips out sometimes. Guess that is why its in the FAQ as others make the same mistake ;)



There's no need to use "sudo" either, since you're just showing a list of 
ports, not modifying any files on disk.


Yeah. Adding sudo though does no harm, and I tend to add it when quoting commands, to avoid any potentially confusion of when it is and isn't needed.
