| 137 | | `port list` doesn't work the way you think it does. You probably want `port installed` or `port outdated` instead. If you were trying to use `port list installed`, you probably want `port installed` (or, equivalently, `port installed installed`). If you were trying to use `port list outdated`, you probably want `port outdated` (or, equivalently, `port outdated outdated`). If you were trying to use `port list someport`, you probably want either `port installed someport` or `port outdated someport`. |

| 139 | | For every given port, `port list` displays the version of that port currently available in the ports tree -- ''not'' the version currently installed. So if for example you have port '''foo''' installed at versions 1 and 2 (with 2 being the current version available), `port list foo` will show '''foo''' at version 2, twice, whereas `port installed foo` will show '''foo''' at version 1 once and '''foo''' at version 2 once. |
