#66700: KeePassXC and qt5 Issues
--------------------+-----------------------
 Reporter:  RobK88  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.8.0
 Keywords:  lion    |       Port:  KeePassXC
--------------------+-----------------------
 I was able to build and install KeePassXC v2.7.4 on my old Mac running
 Lion without any issues using MacPorts.

 Unfortunately, KeePassXC does not run as expected.  Yes, one can create an
 encrypted password database and add entries etc.

 But one is unable to resize any of the columns in the main list panel.
 The double headed arrows appear but do not work as expected.  When you try
 to resize a column, the whole window moves instead.

 I suspect the problem lies with qt56-qtbase which is installed as a
 dependency when you install KeePassXC.   If you look at the actual system
 requirements for KeePassXC, one really needs qt 5.9.5 or greater.  qt
 5.6.5 does not make the cut.

 However, when I try to install qt59-qtbase, I see the following message:

 {{{
 bash-3.2$ sudo port install qt59-qtbase
 Password:
 qt59-qtbase is known to fail. Try to install anyway? [y/N]: n
 Error: qt59-qtbase is known to fail
 bash-3.2$
 }}}


 Can someone explain the significance f this message?  Should I bother
 trying to build and install qt59-base or qt511-base or qt513-base?

 Or is there another fix or patch for this issue where one is unable to
 resize the columns in KeePassXC?
