(libgcc9@10.7) failed to activate libgcc9

[mrkapqa]

Hello ,

i tried to

sudo port upgrade outdated on my Lion MP1.1

and if fails pretty soon here

sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Computing dependencies for libgcc
The following dependencies will be installed:  libgcc9
Continue? [Y/n]: 
--->  Activating libgcc9 @9.1.0_2
Error: Failed to activate libgcc9

afterwards i would

sudo port deactivate libgcc

and re-run the above

sudo port upgrade outdated

but the error remains.

Hmm, well the log says:

:error:activate Failed to activate libgcc9: Image error: /opt/local/include/gcc/c++/algorithm is being used by the active libgcc port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate libgcc9' to force the activation.

I don't know why libgcc9 and libgcc are both trying to provide the same files. But I haven't been paying attention to what's been going on with the gcc ports of late. I'll Cc Chris who made the last commits there.

Looks like the OP has not updated for some time. libgcc has not provided that file in a long long time...

Try

sudo port -f uninstall libgcc
sudo port install libgcc

Please also run

sudo port sync

before, just to be sure...
