Comment:

 Please use WikiFormatting.

 The `-f` flag (and all other single-letter flags) has no effect unless
 placed immediately after the word `port`.

 To forcibly upgrade a port, do the following:

 {{{
 sudo port -n upgrade --force libpng
 }}}

 If you want to ensure that you build from source and don't get a pre-built
 binary from our server, use:

 {{{
 sudo port -ns upgrade --force libpng
 }}}
