 Port in the "list" command shows only the latest version (possibly the
 latest installed version, if the latest repository version is different)
 of any given package as the version associated with all installed
 instances of that package.  See the below transcript for proof:


 {{{

 openssl                        @0.9.8k         devel/openssl

 }}}


 This is with the (as of now) latest version of port available via
 selfupdate:


 {{{
 root at kevin-browns-macbook:~# port selfupdate

 MacPorts base version 1.710 installed
 Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.710

 The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated
 root at kevin-browns-macbook:~#
 }}}




 Needless to say, this defect makes it much more difficult to manage active
 versus inactive ports.  Please fix it, or tell me how I can figure out why
 it's busted on my system.
