portupgrade -a

[Olivier Gautherot]

Hi Joshua!

To be honest, a portupgrade -a is kind of dangerous... I did it and the
system broke. Don't ask why, I have not figured it out yet but
eventually portupgrade itself failed (ruby dumps the core). I had a
whole bunch of packages loaded so I may have had an overflow or
something.

In other words, "If it works, don't fix it" :-)
