Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Replying to [comment:15 springermac@…]:
 > Running "port info py-pyqt5" with the pyqt5 portfile modified to depend
 on qt5-mac-devel gives this error

 Heh, that was an error in what was supposed to be an error message that
 has become obsolete in itself (it came from a Qt5-2.0 portgroup I used
 initially). Thanks for tripping over this; should be fixed now.

 That said, ports are not really supposed to depend on -devel alternatives.
 The idea is that port:foo-devel can be installed as an alternative to
 port:foo, and that there is for instance a portgroup that declares the
 dependency on foo such that foo-devel is accepted too. Evidently that only
 works when foo-devel is actually installed, so what happened here is that
 the portgroup detected you had a legacy/exclusive Qt5 install (and still
 thought it had to instruct you to use the legacy Qt5 portgroup).
