port should explicitly say when to use sudo when upgrading

[manulcaux]

I just wanted to keep my port installation up to date and operate as usual, i.e. first update MacPorts and then upgrade outdated ports.

Here is the messages I got :

[Emmanuels:/Applications/cassis5.1last] caux% sudo port selfupdate
Password:
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.6.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.6.2 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
[Emmanuels:/Applications/cassis5.1last] caux% port upgrade outdated
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
[Emmanuels:/Applications/cassis5.1last] caux% 

In fact, it works if I type

sudo  port upgrade outdated

this should be made clear that sudo is mandatory, first in the output message given after the selupdate, and second in the error message sent if the user forgot to use sudo !

And why the sudo is not taken by default when I used it a few second before launching sudo port self update ??
