>Description:
>From time to time there is an UPDATING entry that suggests
"portupgrade -fr PKG" because there was a shared library version bump in
PKG.  It is usually okay, but it wastes a lot of time when most of the
dependent packages have already been rebuilt or upgraded (e.g. after a
GNOME upgrade or the X.org 7.2 upgrade).
>How-To-Repeat:
"portupgrade -fr gettext" on a system where GNOME 2.x is installed.

(... *sigh*)
>Fix:
In UPDATING, suggest "portupgrade -frx '>=PKG' PKG" instead of the
unconditional "portupgrade -fr PKG".
