Need help / advice

[brewerleece]

I am trying to get the following ports to work:

ack	3.7.0_0	<	3.8.1_0
bettercap	2.32.0_0	<	2.40.0_0
deluge	2.0.5_1	<	2.1.1_0
fswatch	1.17.1_0	<	1.18.2_0
fzf	0.33.0_0	<	0.58.0_0
gimp	2.10.34_0	<	2.10.38_0
go-md2man	2.0.2_0	<	2.0.5_0
hashcat	6.2.5_0	<	6.2.6_1
httping	2.9_0	<	3.6_1
LibreCAD	2.1.3_1	<	2.2.0.2_0
lnav	0.11.2_1	<	0.12.3_0
miniupnpc	2.2.7_0	<	2.2.8_0
mkvtoolnix	41.0.0_5	<	89.0_0
py311-bcrypt	4.0.1_0	<	4.1.2_0
py311-cryptography	41.0.1_0	<	43.0.3_0
py311-service_identity	23.1.0_0	<	24.2.0_0
py311-twisted	22.10.0_0	<	22.10.0_1
qscintilla-qt5	2.11.6_1	<	2.13.3_0
qt58-qtbase	5.8.0_13	<	5.8.0_14
qt58-qtbase-docs	5.8.0_13	<	5.8.0_14
sqlitebrowser	3.12.2_0	<	3.13.1_0
ssh-tools	1.8_0	<	1.9_0
stellarium	0.21.1_0	<	23.4_1
task	2.6.2_0	<	3.3.0_0
thefuck	3.32_3	<	3.32_4
transmission-x11	3.00_3	<	4.0.6_1
xpdf	3.04_4	<	4.05_0

Mavericks, on my end, appears to have quite a bit of broken stuff.  py312 is staring to act up, Nothing with go builds, and now Qt58 does not work.

Regards
