qt5 portgroup: overquoted supported_archs

[fhgwright (Fred Wright)]

One of the ports I needed to deactivate to get past 10.9 build failures on an "upgrade outdated" was gpsbabel. When reactivating it after completing the upgrade, I got these rather confusing messages:

MacPro:~ fw$ sudo port activate gpsbabel
Error: gpsbabel cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'x86_64' because it only supports the arch(s) '"i386 x86_64"'.
Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for gpsbabel @1.5.4_0
--->  Activating gpsbabel @1.5.4_0

It claims that the activation worked in spite of the reported error, and that seems to have been correct:

MacPro:~ fw$ port installed gpsbabel
The following ports are currently installed:
  gpsbabel @1.5.4_0 (active)

And:

MacPro:~ fw$ gpsbabel -V

GPSBabel Version 1.5.4

Note that that's not the latest version, due to the build failure that prompted the original deactivation.

I assume that this is a base issue, perhaps due to an interaction between the old Portfile and the new base version.

When was this port installed? (port -v installed gpsbabel will show you.) I wonder if it's using a much older version of the qt5 portgroup that isn't compatible.

[fhgwright (Fred Wright)]

MacPro:~ fw$ port -v installed gpsbabel
The following ports are currently installed:
  gpsbabel @1.5.4_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 13' archs='x86_64' date='2017-10-04T14:34:40-0700'

Presumably the port hadn't been updated since then, until the 27-Mar-2021 update to 1.7.

The new version fails due to a Qt version issue on 10.9.
