 Hi,

 After the command "port selfupdate", i would iike to update all package
 with "port upgrade outdated" but i have an error:

 {{{

Comment:

 Well the message is correct: p5.12-authen-sasl has been made obsolete by
 the port p5.16-authen-sasl. Please install p5.16-authen-sasl instead.

 What's not clear is why MacPorts was unable to perform this replacement
 for you. But the workaround is:

 {{{
 sudo port -f deactivate p5.12-authen-sasl
 sudo port install p5.16-authen-sasl
 }}}
