circular dependency between qemu and dtc

self-update

qemu fails due to conflict with dtc

deactivating dtc then trying to update qemu fails because it activates dtc

~: sudo port uninstall qemu
Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has
dependents as it breaks the dependents.
The following ports will break:
 macpine @1.0.5_0
 lima @0.22.0_0
 lima @0.22.0_1
 lima @0.23.1_0
Continue? [y/N]: y
