For a long time, lang/gcc was gcc 4.8, which conflicted with the lang/gcc48 port. (Don't ask me why the gcc port maintainer has set it up this way, I don't know :). Recently, on 2016-11-20 [1], lang/gcc updated to become gcc 4.9, which now conflicts with the lang/gcc49 port. So lang/gcc49 must be removed, together with all its dependent ports, before lang/gcc can be installed. I don't know why pkg can't see this as a direct replacement. Perhaps pkg does not have support for such metadata. -Dimitry [1] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=426565
