MacPorts 2.0.4 modifies default bash profile behavior

[a.y.harano@…]

It seems that MacPorts 2.0.4 installs a .profile to ease the setting of PATH, pointing to port's installed binaries first, which is great.

However, it altered the default behavior, somehow involving PS1. I would like to know how to correct it.

In my case, it first appeared

M~ y$

and now it appears

151~ y$

All versions of MacPorts have done that; it's not new for 2.0.4.

That doesn't sound intentional... MacPorts should have backed up your .profile; you can compare the before and after to see the changes and see if anything looks wrong.

I didn't find any kind of .profile backed up. I guess I didn't have one before upgrading to 2.0.4 or installing MacPorts. I don't have my Time Machine here to compare if it previously had.

Except for .profile, what else could cause this? If it matters: I killed port while it was upgrading but followed by redoing it.

It seems to be solved here somehow after rebooting two times after upgrading MacPorts.
