Description
The output of port list inactive lists wrong versions
$ port list inactive | grep monotone monotone @0.48 devel/monotone monotone @0.48 devel/monotone monotone @0.48 devel/monotone
while I'm hinted at the correct versions on uninstall:
$ sudo port uninstall monotone ---> The following versions of monotone are currently installed: ---> monotone @0.45_0 ---> monotone @0.46_0 ---> monotone @0.47_0 ---> monotone @0.48_0 (active)

Ok, then the "inactive" selector makes either no sense for port list
or port list
should gain another column which shows the version of the actually listed port, no?

No, it just doesn't work the way you expect.
'list' tells you the latest version of a port or ports.
'inactive' expands to all of your inactive ports.
'port list inactive' tells port to give you the latest versions of all of your inactive ports.
you really want 'port echo inactive'
According to the port man page, port list
So displays the lastest version available of the inactive ports in your case.
