I was expecting the pkg_rolling-replace I was originally running to have
chosen gcc12 to replace.  So that's what I ran manually.  When that
failed, I looked around for the ${WRKOBJDIR} of another package that
required gcc12, but there was none.

That sounds like what happened.  I authenticated for replace (sudo), but
the shlibs check failed and the old gcc12 was removed.  Thus my confusion
when I was expecting a replace but there was no previous gcc12 package
(anymore).

I'd been reading that thread and then I saw it too, so figured I'd
add my data point.
