portupgrade -f advice please

[David Southwell]

A bit puzzled

I have a problem with apache22 loading and decided before doing anything else 
that I would upgrade apache22 recursively to rebuild all ports upon which it 
depened and which depend upon apache.

The (to me) logical command was:

dns1# portupgrade -frR apache22

Which generated the following:
[Exclude up-to-date packages  done]

Man portupgrade shows:
 -f
     --force                Force the upgrade of a package even if it is to be
                            a downgrade or just a reinstall of the same ver-
                            sion, or the port is held by user using the
                            HOLD_PKGS variable in pkgtools.conf.

I do not want to exclude packages that appear to be up-to-date. Where is this 
limitation on force set?
