Thank for reply, and sorry for late response

I had some troubles to upgrade anthy port to version 0.4 from Debian.
But I managed to success to build new anthy packages and am now
testing them with my daily use.

In my case following line should be put as override.hint. Right?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
curr: 0.4-1

And is there any way to generate override.hint from .cygport file with
cygport command?
