Hi, I was curious, so I fired off a build using the buildbots, just to see what would happen in a clean environment.
https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.11_x86_64-builder/builds/84721/steps/install-dependencies/logs/stdio And indeed I see the dep on qt5-XYZ there. Interestingly, qt511-base, the version I would expect, is also there. So, looking again at https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/net/wireshark3/Portfile If you look at the qt5 variant, defined at line 63, the issue is actually obvious really. The qt5 portgroup is correctly used, to pick the right qt5 build, but then at line 68 there are hardcoded deps on specific ‘qt5’ versions, which undoes the good work of the qt5 PG. This is a bug in the wireshark port, which should be looked into. I suggest you file a trac ticket to ask the maintainer to take a look.
