The kdelibs4 upgrade fails for me with a "files exists" error while it  
is trying to install  one of its dependencies qt4-kde:

xinstall: /opt/local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync 
.macports.org_release_ports_aqua_qt4-kde/work/qt-mac-opensource-

lrelease: File exists

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
macintosh:~ frstan$


This is likely because I have :

macintosh:~ frstan$ port installed *qt4*
The following ports are currently installed:
   qt4-mac @4.5.0_1 (active)
   qt4-x11 @4.4.3_2 (active)
macintosh:~ frstan$

what do you advise?
