>=20

Even if there were, I think it's quite obvious that port which has been
removed from the ports tree should be deinstalled from user's system,=20
isn't it? BTW, portupgrade notes when there are such kind of ports in
the system.

I think the proper solution is deinstalling obsolete port (i.e. gnutls-devel
in our case) from the system, but not CONFLICTing with dead ports' ghosts.
And Porters Handbook doesn't say we should CONFLICT with nonexistent ports.

Am I missing something?
