I don't know when/where/what was changed in portupgrade, but current 
version seems almost useless to me.
Installing of Trac plugins ends with error installing apache-1.3.41 (why 
if I have Apache 2.2.8 and Trac installed)
Previous versions were OK in this situation and tracking and filling all 
"ALT_PKGDEP" isn't easy task.

Manual installation of apache-ant needs only 5 dependencies

# pkg_info -rR apache-ant-1.7.0_1

installation by portupgrade ends with more than 60

Silently installing dependencies with default options without showing an 
OPTIONS dialog is annoying too.

I was happy user of portupgrade for many years, but if all above is "the 
right way to the future", maybe it is time to give a chance for 
portmaster or anything else.
