With Mojave on Macmini6,1 & XCode 11.3.1
I get this:

port -vsN upgrade libgcc9

I saw a bug report was opened, but wasn't paying much attention. This was 
closed 2 months ago
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/65415


In a couple or few other bug reports I've opened, most fixed and closed in due 
course, which is how I have known things to operate for the better part of 2 
decades. But occasionally, some tickets are closed without the defect  being 
fixed, with something posted to the effect "you're not using the right version 
of XCode for your system, and we're not going to support it... " or similar, 
and I don't know what the heck they're talking about, because XCode 11 requires 
macOS 10.14 or later, and I don't know what other version of XCode I'm supposed 
to be using on Mojave. But there's a further port here, which is that some 
maintainers and bug fixing volunteers, those that usually fix and close bug 
reports, seem to want to close these tickets even though the problem still 
exists, as though there is a mean boss somewhere putting pressure on them to 
close tickets when, sometimes, the defect still exists, as though closing a 
ticket has some magical effect. This is just an uninformed opinion from mild 
exasperation.

So there's that. But the other thing is, I just don't care, if something isn't 
going to work, fine. But how do I get it to stop showing up in my outdated list 
so that I can just blanket-upgrade the outdated ports without the upgrade 
command failing when it reaches the problematic port? I'm sure it's in the 
manual somewhere, but I figured Ryan and a couple others seem to know the 
manual by heart and may have mercy on me and my bad eyes, and tell me how to 
stop a port from being reported it is outdated.
