    initial v1  
    11That will not really help in this case, and it isn't really how the gccX port works, they don't replace each other but exist along side (where they can).

    3 The issue is the (lib)gcc9 dep usually come from the compilers PG, that picks a variant for ports to use. Once a user installs a port with a certain variant, even if its just because its the default, if that default changes in the future that user is not automatically migrated to the new (default) variant, so stay with the old one. I am not aware of a way to handle this, other than the user having to reinstall any ports that have a (lib)gcc9 dep, using the more recent defaults. if you know a way to do this please let me know.
