sudo port upgrade installed

[Frank J. R. Hanstick]

Hello,
	And I will give you an even better example.  Your compilation is 30  
seconds from finished and the links to gcc are lost, then what?  You  
prefer to have your compilation crash?  Your analogy is MBE.  The car  
you have is not linked to one being upgraded.  It would be like your  
current car suddenly quitting while your are driving it in the middle  
of the freeway because the new model is now ready.  Get a better  
analogy.
