Ok, got it. Then we just need to move fallback version from `mkvtoolnix`
port to here, that will solve the problem.

Submitting a legacy port is part of the preparation to update the main
port to v83 which is qt6 only.
Thank you for explanation, I did not see that ticket.
P. S. It’s a shame that it requires Qt5 even without GUI, and does not
have GTK option…
