Does said port appear in the HOLD_PKGS array within pkgtools.conf? From
that file:
# HOLD_PKGS: array
#
# This is a list of ports you don't want portupgrade(1) to upgrade,
# portversion(1) to suggest upgrading, or pkgdb(1) to fix.
# You can use wildcards ("ports glob" and "pkgname glob").
# -f/--force with each command will override the held status.
and when & why should -f be specify?
When you want to force the upgrade of a package even though you've
"held" it in pkgtools.conf.
