Error: The following dependencies failed to build: qt3-mac
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

This looks like a dup of #13208. Try the following:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean qt3-mac
sudo port install qt3-mac

Also, what is the result of:

port installed qt3

[ralph@…]

Self-updating, cleaning and re-installing gave the same error as reported above.

port installed qt3 reports

port installed qt3
The following ports are currently installed:
  qt3 @3.3.8_5+darwin_8+darwin_9 (active)

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Try the following:

sudo port deactivate qt3
sudo port clean qt3-mac
sudo port install qt3-mac

[ralph@…]

That (more or less) worked:

laptop:~ ralph$ sudo port deactivate qt3

[ralph@…]

Should I now reactivate qt3?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I think you can have only one installed at a time. You can try it and see.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I meant only one activated at a time.

[ralph@…]

Your observation is correct. If I now try to activate qt3, I get:

--->  Activating qt3
Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/lrelease is being used by the active qt3-mac port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Conversely, if I try to run qucs with qt3-mac active instead of qt3, I get:

-> qucs
dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN12QPaintDevice10setX11DataEPK19QPaintDeviceX11Data
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/qucs
  Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libqt-mt.3.dylib

How do I now resolve this issue?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I don't know, but you should open a new bug report for it so it can be assigned to the qucs maintainer.

[ralph@…]

Why is the a bug report against qucs? qucs says it requires qt3, and with that it runs OK. It is qt3-mac which doesn't build in the presence of qt3, not qucs which doesn't work.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The latest version of qucs has a dependency on qt3-mac, not qt3. If you want qucs to work, you should file a bug against the qucs port. In any event, this particular bug report was against building qt3-mac which works now, so it's not relevant here.

[ralph@…]

So what is going on here then?

laptop:~ ralph$ port deps qucs
qucs has library dependencies on:
	qt3-mac
	freehdl
laptop:~ ralph$ sudo port remove qt3
Password:
Unrecognized action "remove"
laptop:~ ralph$ sudo port uninstall qt3
--->  Unable to uninstall qt3 3.3.8_5+darwin_8+darwin_9, the following ports depend on it:
--->  	qucs
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend on qt3 first.

I'll agree this is not the original bug, but I don't understand this at all, and it probably needs reporting as a new bug. If you can help me understand it, I'll report it.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The registry is confused, try:

sudo port uninstall qucs
sudo port install qucs
sudo port uninstall qt3
