Hey,

When I upgrade a port to the latest version, I usually do a "pkg_delete -f
<oldport>" after I've built the new one, and I then install the new one.
However, this doesn't update dependencies, so when I go to "clean up" my
system, I don't get warned about ports I've updated, and that tends to
break things.

I know you can do this with packages via the pkg_update command, but is
there a way to do this with the ports collection?
