You dont need the -N switch, it's only used for new port installations, not
upgrades. Using it carelessly is a bit dangerous, you may find youself
installing ports you don't want.
Thanks, I wasn't sure about that. I saw an example that used -N and followed it. I'm not clear on what -N really does, but for now I just won't use it!
While the manual (man) pages aren't always crystal clear, the one for portupgrade is actually pretty good at explaining what all those letter options are for. Just type at the prompt:
$ man portupgrade
You'll have a much better idea of what the options do and which ones you want to use for a given situation.
