If I understood you correctly it will presently reinstall all ports in a given
snapshot.
I'm not saying that these commands should check for what went wrong during
upgrade, but to reinstall only those whose upgrade caused another port to stop
working as expected. The actual cause is for the user to find. For example,
let's say you did upgrade outdated and hstr doesn't work anymore, but you
realise that from its rdeps only ncurses was updated. Then you could use
restore with the snapshot preceding the upgrade to just rollback the whole tree
to that state by reinstalling in this case only ncurses and not hstr, readline,
etc.
hstr
pkgconfig
libiconv
gperf
ncurses
readline
