Thanks, that was it! What got me confused was that 1) formerly, 'port  
upgrade active' only upgraded active ports _in need of upgrading_, 2)  
the following lines in 'man port':

"To upgrade all installed ports:

            port upgrade installed",

which seem to suggest that the old behavior is still valid, and 3) if  
you run 'port upgrade outdated' when there are no ports in need of  
upgrading, you get the following message:

Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file (Could not  
find Portfile in .). Please verify that the directory and portfile  
syntax are correct.
Error: To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory
Error: No port  found.

which seems to suggest that the target "outdated" doesn't work with  
'port upgrade'. Perhaps the documentation should be corrected to  
clarify point 2), and the cryptic error message in 3) should  
certainly be changed by something more understandable, like "No  
(active | installed | etc.) ports need upgrading".

Thanks a lot again,
