Comment (by l.digaspero@…):

 However, since botan is not a '''really required''' dependence for qt5
 -mac-creator (since it comes with a custom botan distribution in the
 source package) why should it be the default in the macports distribution?
 I suggest to go with my first amended Portfile which defines a variant for
 installing and using the botan dependency only if required.

 Incidentally I have the same behavior as in the previous post for
 installing botan:


 {{{
 $ sudo port info botan
 Error: Port botan not found
 }}}
