You don't need to delete all the ports in one go and then reinstall

Port upgrade tools are not guaranteed to work perfectly in this
situation. I tried doing an update with portmanager and ended up with
some binaries linked against both libc.so.6 and libc.so.7! Some ports
didn't even compile.
portmanager isn't recommended for use since it became abandonware a long
time ago and never reached maturity. If you (correctly ;) use portupgrade
(e.g. -fa or -faP) then you will not have this problem.
Dang, I meant portmaster, not portmanager. My bad.
I would say that portmaster is still in the maturing phase also,
although it has made recent progress.
