Your point is valid, but this is the wrong forum as the problem is the
packaging system. It expects to install a package on a system that has the
exact versions of all dependencies that were used to build the package. This is
important as it assures that there will be no differences that might impact the
performance of the package. and, of course, the packaging system assumes that
the latest default dependencies are used.

In the case of linux packages, that means c6 for 10 and 11. It seems likely
that c7 might become the default at come point, hopefully in the near future.
Until that happens, I can't see any resolution of this problem. For me it would
mean using c6 and at least two ports that have vulnerabilities that I was
informed were unlikely to be fixed in c6. (That was as of at least a year ago,
so may be no longer true.)

Sorry, but I don't think that there is a solution available.
