gqrx: install fails with "Error: Dependency 'py39-fonttools' not found."

[colonel-angus69]

Hi -- similar to the situation with gnuradio in #73333, installation of gqrx by running "sudo port install gqrx" fails with "Error: Dependency 'py39-fonttools' not found", and py39-fonttools is a deleted port. Is there anything I can provide in addition to what's in this ticket to help enable a solution for this? Thank you for considering. Here's the console output I see when I try to install gqrx, redacted:

[redacted]:~ [redacted]$ sudo port -v install  gqrx

gqrx depends on gnuradio, so this the same as the other ticket.

Have you tried installing gnuradio with the +python310 variant as suggested in the other ticket?

sudo port clean gnuradio
sudo port install gnuradio +python310
