It's a reasonable mistake, I think. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19433#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It's exactly like "apt-get upgrade all" . An error message explaining that "all" means something else would have been very helpful. The current errors aren't useful at all. I asked for "all" and it starts complaining about software that I've never installed. It makes sense, eventually, after you find out that "all" doesn't mean what you think it does. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19433#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Joshua fixed this in r46052. That is to say, Joshua fixed it in 1.7.1 so that "port upgrade all" no longer tries to install all ports (!). But if the request is to provide a better error message than

{{{ $ port upgrade all Error: 2Pong is not installed $ }}} then that request is still outstanding. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19433#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
