I finally am able to run "port upgrade outdated" without problems, or at least it reports “Nothing to upgrade,” thanks to a bit of off-list help from Ruben.
Here is the result I got, followed by an invitation to tile a ticket, perhaps 25 times for different ports: ---> Computing dependencies for libgcc10 ---> Fetching archive for libgcc10 ---> Attempting to fetch libgcc10-10.2.0_1.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/libgcc10 ---> Attempting to fetch libgcc10-10.2.0_1.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from https://packages.macports.org/libgcc10 ---> Installing libgcc10 @10.2.0_1 ---> Activating libgcc10 @10.2.0_1 Error: Failed to activate libgcc10: Image error: /opt/local/lib/libgcc/libatomic.1.dylib is being used by the active libgcc port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate libgcc10' to force the activation. Each time I did "port -f activate foo” I repeated the "port upgrade outdated" command plus a few other things at other times. Should I file a ticket for this?
