(I'm running on MacOS X 10.3.2). For example, ""port deps libxml++"" gives the output: port search failed: couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid I don't know shell scripting enough to find the bug in the port script. Also, if one does ""port deps libxml+"", one gets the result for ""port deps libxml"" rather than a warning related to the port not existing. This is probably part of the same issue. -albert",defect,closed,Normal,,base,1.0,fixed,,yves@… rhwood@…,
