Never, ever, *ever* do this.
"pkg_version -c" is a hack to make cut-n-paste easier. The output is
sorted alphabetically and no notice is taken of dependencies between
different ports.
*If* you know what you're doing then -c is useful to help save you some
typing. But you should never run the commands automatically.
