I ran portupgrade -varR last night to upgrade a number of ports. When
it finished, or returned me to the command line, the following output
was on the screen:
** No need to upgrade 'gedit-2.14.3' (>= gedit-2.14.3). (specify -f to
force)

I noticed the error a number of times in the portupgrade output as well,
like:

Any ideas on how I can correct this issue and get my ports tree and
related applications working correctly? Can I use -w option of
portupgrade to install already compiled code or will I have to redo the
whole compiling process?
Thanks in advance!
