Thanks for pointing me to the script!! I have saved the script to my computer, run it and it said that there are 60 packages that I should upgrade. I will upgrade them slowly when I have the spare time. However, I still don't get how /etc/libmap.conf can be used to work around this problem without rebuilding the ports.
