Why would -f be needed here?

Uh, force of habit. I usually use "port -nf upgrade" to rebuild a port at the same version. Presumably you don't need "-f" if the port version is different and MacPorts already thinks an upgrade is needed.


Caveat: "sudo port -nf upgrade A" does uninstall the old version of A.

But not in trunk any more, unless it really has to (when you're forcing
an upgrade to a version that is already installed).

Super!
