 Finally I managed to make the following command work

 'sudo port rev-upgrade'


 What I did was patiently and repeatedly removing all ports that were
 reported to be broken from the above command, going from bottom to top, by
 the command
 'sudo port -d -f uninstall  XXXX'
 where XXXX is the culprit package/port that were broken.

 Originally I had 20 ports broken (not sure why it suddenly had so many
 broken ports),
 using the above procedure I got it down to 8 (copy paste below as
 examples)

 --->  Found 8 broken port(s), determining rebuild order

 --->  Rebuilding in order

      bc @1.06.95 +libedit

      soprano @2.9.4

      kdelibs4 @4.14.3

      mobipocket @4.14.3

      gpsd @3.14

      evince @3.14.2

      libkexiv2 @4.14.3

      python24 @2.4.6

 Then, I applied the same 'sudo port -d -f uninstall' from bottom up, e.g.,

 sudo port -d -f uninstall python24 @2.4.6

 until the last one

 sudo port -d -f uninstall bc @1.06.95


 (Btw, I also 'sudo port -d -f uninstall' all the other related versions of
 the broken ports. Your other installed versions can be seen if you simply
 use 'sudo port -d -f uninstall' followed by the package name without its
 version, e.g.,  sudo port -d -f uninstall python24 )

 After going from bottom up and force uninstalling all broken ports, I did
 'sudo port selfupdate',  and then
 'sudo port rev-upgrade'
 finally went through, reporting no broken ports!  It took quite a long
 time, but I guess it was still a lot faster than removing all macport and
 then reinstall.

 But the 'sudo port upgrade outdated' failed in one step, I checked the web
 and saw only one 2-year old answer which does not solve my problem, I'll
 report a 'bug' in another thread.

 Thanks.
