Good point, and what about the actual package names ? 

In the advisory the following URLs are listed as fixed packages:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/mail/mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/mail/mutt-devel-1.3.24_2.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/mail/mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/mail/mutt-devel-1.3.24_2.tgz


from ftp.freebsd.org
--------------------
ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/mail" 
ftp> ls mutt*
 mutt-1.2.5.tgz -> ../All/mutt-1.2.5.tgz
 mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz -> ../All/mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz

ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/mail"
ftp> ls mutt*
 mutt-1.2.5.tgz -> ../All/mutt-1.2.5.tgz
 mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz -> ../All/mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz

not mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz but mutt-1.2.5.tgz is found.
              ^^                  ^

The same is with mutt-devel-1.3.24_2.tgz, as only
                                  ^^
mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz is listed.
                 ^^



So is mutt-1.2.5_1.tgz the same as mutt-1.2.5.tgz ?

And is mutt-devel-1.3.24_2.tgz the same as mutt-devel-1.3.24_1.tgz ?


Thanks,
