How add variant when upgrading octave

Fri May 20 14:17:57 PDT 2016

Just tried that…

   sudo port upgrade octave +gfortran

but I get error about of variant gcc48 with  gfortran.  Here’s record of Terminal session:

The problem here is that the gcc48 variant (actually all of gcc44, gcc45, gcc46, gcc47, gcc48, gcc49) was removed rather than sticking around as a "legacy compatibility variant" that just causes a mandatory replacement variant (presumably +gfortran here) to be selected.
