Vidalia-0.2.9: build failure due to conflicting ports [libevent/qt4-mac]

[franck.cassedanne@…]

Tor @0.2.1.25 requires libevent -- libevent conflicts with qt4-mac @4.6.2

# port build Vidalia
Error: Unable to execute port: Can't install qt4-mac because conflicting ports are installed: libevent

# port info vidalia | grep "Library Dependencies"
Library Dependencies:    tor, qt4-mac

# port info qt4-mac | grep -i conflict
Conflicts with:    qt4-mac-devel, kdelibs3, kdelibs4, libevent, xmlrpcxx

# port info tor | grep "Library Dependencies"
Library Dependencies:    libevent, openssl, zlib

In future, please put the port names in the Port field and cc the maintainers.

This is a duplicate of #20199. The workaround is to deactivate libevent, clean and build qt4-mac, and then activate libevent.

sudo port -f deactivate libevent
sudo port clean qt4-mac
sudo port install qt4-mac
sudo port activate libevent
