Have you tried manually initiating a repo and package upgrade using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y It may be that you added the repo, but did not update apt to get the packages from that repo, which is why apt can't find anything. It knows that the next time you update, it needs to pull from the new repo, but it has not yet done that, and therefore can't show packages from that repo (such as gcc-11). That's my guess based on the information you gave. More on reddit.com

The compiler packages can be installed with conda. Because they are designed with (pseudo) cross-compiling in mind, all of the executables in a compiler package are "prefixed." Instead of gcc, the executable name of the compiler you use will be something like x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu-gcc.

Firstly, the packages to conda install are actually gcc_linux-64 and gxx_linux-64. You will (probably) need both packages. You can specify versions if you’d like, such as gcc_linux-64=9; make sure that if you do so, you specify the same version for both.

[conda] Using the gcc package
The recipe is at https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/tree/master/gcc-4.8. To answer your question, post install scripts are possible with conda, but it's highly preferable to avoid them if possible, as they add a high degree of potential for breakage to the package install process. Aaron Meurer · Post by Stuart Berg Thanks Floris and Aaron, for your informative responses. I've now created my own CentOS 5.11 VM in which I can build my own C++ conda packages using the conda-provided gcc binary.

September 16, 2022 -
I am not extremely adept in all things linux nor gcc, but after doing an apt search gcc-11 I get nothing, After doing an apt search gcc I do not see anything that shows an 11 version AFAICT, and when I try and follow what this link says it doesn't work because it doesn't find the package.
Thanks

Don't mess with ppas or otherwise try to change system dependencies. You need a container, a virtual environment or a home folder install like homebrew or conda that you can easily remove and won't cause issues. You have no idea what might break if you change the system version.

Disable conda, since we don’t need it to do any package management for sage. ... Point it to system gcc-10 and fortran-10 for compilation. It can’t use gcc-11 as of the time of this writing.

Just to share, not sure it will help you. However it shows that in standard conditions it is possible to use the conda gcc as described in the documentation instead of the system gcc.

In addition to the solution posted in this issue. I added symbolic-links that point to the conda installed gcc, which I was missing.
