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.
