Thank you, Ian. You saved me at least another two days of struggling. To return the favor - sorry for posting the info way outside of the list's subject - I have switched to Pathfinder exactly for the sake of the font and color control. It's no Krusader though :( Thank you once again ~Andrey

That is what I would have thought, but I first ran just plain port sync, got the error, then did port -d sync and it ran thru a ton of updates/adds, then port sync again, and no error. This is a virtual Monday for a lot of us who had yesterday off on holiday I guessŠ.we'll blame that. Thanks,

While download statistics might not be a good system, I do concur that MacPorts very much would benefit from having a discovery mechanism by which users find out about useful ports. Searching is nice, but it's not discovery. Some kind of top ports list (however implemented) would be useful,
