That's the ports makefiles talking, isn't it?  In order to do that =
deinstall I need to also remove all of the things that depend on it... =
portupgrade is supposed to help me do the in-place upgrade without =
removing everything else first.

Even if I forced the deinstall without letting the dependencies get in =
the way, wouldn't that break the dependency registration (+REQUIRED_BY) =
for all of those packages in the future?
