Comment(by banshee@…):
Speaking as a new user, it was completely obvious to me that 'port upgrade
all' would mean to upgrade everything I've got installed. It's exactly
like "apt-get upgrade all" . An error message explaining that "all" means
something else would have been very helpful.
The current errors aren't useful at all. I asked for "all" and it starts
complaining about software that I've never installed. It makes sense,
eventually, after you find out that "all" doesn't mean what you think it
does.
