upgrade all fails because of missing port

[Dave@…]

Z% sudo port upgrade all Password: Error: a2ps is not installed Z%

I don't see why this should happen. If there's an option that will keep it from happening, the error message should tell me how to re-run the command so the error won't occur.

You can't upgrade something that isn't installed, and all expands to all available ports (try port echo all). Use port upgrade outdated if you want to upgrade everything that is installed and has a newer version available.

Ah. Then the port command should look to see if there are any members of 'all' that are not installed, and diagnose 'port update all' as incorrect, AND suggest port update oudated.

Thanks
