First things first: this shows that gcc9 was already successfully installed before you ran this command.

After any port install or upgrade, MacPorts checks all installed ports for linking errors. It found some on your system. We would need to see the output of "sudo port -d rev-upgrade" to know specifically what problems were found with those ports.

perl5.8 was removed a long time ago. The current version is perl5.30. Nothing in MacPorts should be referencing perl5.8 anymore. (I found one port that was; I filed a ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59600)

Do you perhaps have any local Portfiles (check your /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf file) that might be very old and out of date?

I see below that you did run this command. Good.

Whatever the problem with cmake and readline was, MacPorts successfully rebuilt them so they are no longer broken.

We would need to see the contents of those two logfiles to know why this failed and what to do about it.

As far as MacPorts goes, it should work fine.
