I have worked around this problem by editing the Portfile to a) manually substitute the original value of version into the distname, and b) changing the underscore in the version to a dash ('-'). I suspect that something in the registry lookup is scanning for the ""_${revision}"" that's appended to the port version, but it is scanning forward for the underscore starting at the beginning of the string instead of scanning backward from the end." defect closed Normal MacPorts 2.0.0 base 1.9.2 fixed registry version
