After updating ports, 'portsdb -Fu' and 'portversion -vL=' will show what's
outdated. (That's with portupgrade installed. Some would have you believe
it's second in evil only to HAL. Maybe true, but it works.)
And then 'portupgrade -r portname' (or 'portupgrade -ar', if you like)
should upgrade the outdated stuff and everything that depends on it. And -P
or -PP might help by retrieving packages, although I haven't tried that in
years.
This includes libc? man 2 libc
Doh, I was thinking of ports, not system. Some ports have code to check
for system version requirements, and I'd expect packages to do the same
thing. But they're moving targets, and developers and porters can't
check all the combinations.
