Comment (by waltman-macports at mawode.com):

 Replying to [comment:1 raimue at macports.org]:
 > `-u` can only be used in conjunction with `-f` at the moment.

 Then it should say that on the manpage :)

 > Ports cannot depend on a specific version, they just depends on another
 port. Therefore every dependent would be upgrade. There is no way to tell
 if it is necessary.

 Isn't that the whole point of -R?  If not, then what does "also upgrade
 dependents" mean?

 > No idea why it was printed 6 times.

 Yes, that's very odd.
