This is related #66200.

You uninstall qbs by running sudo port uninstall qbs. The output above shows you ran that command and it did nothing, meaning qbs wasn't installed at that point.

You can recover the disk space used for the failed build attempt by running sudo port clean qbs.

port list qbs shows you what ports are in the database of ports that can be installed, not what ports are installed. See wiki:FAQ#portlist.

For any further questions about how to use MacPorts, please ask on the ​macports-users mailing list. The issue tracker is not for technical support.

Since MacPorts is trying to install qbs when you sudo port upgrade outdated, evidently some other port that you have installed wants to install qbs as a dependency.
