Ticket #58441, comment 4
initial v1 3 3 `libgcc` is a meta-port. It installs the latest version of `libgcc` that should be installed on a given system (depending on the system's capabilities), and it also can install certain bits of libgcc6,7,or8 that are needed for MacPorts but no longer available in the latest `libgcc` version, which is presently `libgcc9`. 4 4 5 It *is* getting more complicated, to be sure, and there have been some hiccups in birthing here and there, but Chris is doing a great job at keeping this all working , for the most part.5 It *is* getting more complicated, to be sure, and there have been some hiccups in birthing here and there, but Chris is doing a great job at keeping this all working. 6 6 7 7 The reason you're seeing `libgcc8` having a runtime dep on `libgcc9` is that `libgcc8` is incomplete on many systems, and needs `libgcc9` to fill in the rest of the required parts to make a whole `libgcc` installation.
