 > > ncurses was recently updated to version 6.0 which installs
 /opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib so ports such as ocaml and vim (which
 provides ${prefix}/bin/vi) and many more needed a revbump at a minimum to
 relink with the new version.

 update your ports?

 them but create problems instead. Does `port` need an update?

 Sorry.  Failure to communicate.  By 'revbump' I mean incrementing the
 revision of a port to cause it to rebuild, in this case due to the
 revision change of libncurses.  This has already been done.

 Now you just need to issue the command

 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 }}}

 to synchronize your ports tree with the latest versions/revisions on the
 rsync server.  This is what I meant by 'update your ports'.

 Once you've done that you can execute
 {{{
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 to upgrade your outdated ports.

 Sorry for not being more precise in my language.  My fault entirely.
