Sorry; I erred: I was confused about which system was involved.  The
above wasn't the "problem child" -- that ... honor ... was reserved for
my desktop at work.

And that one did have qt-3.3.8_14 installed.  :-(

"pkg_delete qt-3.3.8_14" reported that:
pkg_delete: package 'qt-3.3.8_14' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
pinentry-0.8.1_3
gnupg-2.0.20

So... fine; one "pkg_delete -f qt-3.3.8_14" later, and it was gone.

I then attempted "portmaster security/pinentry security/gnupg" (in
an attempt to ensure that they wouldn't wander off into the weeds
or something equally non-useful).  That failed, claiming:

===>>> security/pinentry 1/2 >> x11-toolkits/qt33 (1/1)
0;portmaster: security/pinentry 1/2 >> x11-toolkits/qt33 (1/1)^G
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33

        ===>>> This port is marked DEPRECATED
        ===>>> No upstream activity since 2008; unmaintained

        ===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
               DEPRECATED line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for x11-toolkits/qt33 failed
===>>> Aborting update


It *finally* occurred to me that maybe there was a (default?) option set
for security/pinentry that might be bringing in QT3.

So I tried "portmaster --force-config security/pinentry security/gnupg";
sure enough, all of the options for pinentry -- including one labelled
"QT3	Qt3 frontend" -- were selected.  I de-selected that one, and
that step then proceeded without further incident.

After that, I was able to install devel/qt4-corelib.  (I then ran
"portmaster --check-depends" -- just because I figured it couldn't
hurt.)


In my defense, I suspect that it had been a few years since I had looked
at the options for security/pinentry.  And the port's Makefile, at
r317525, appears to specify QT3 as a default option.  (Or am I confused
-- about that, I mean?)

IIRC, I only picked up security/pinentry as a port on which
security/gnupg depended -- it was pretty far from my focus at the time
(of initially installing gnupg -- probably a bit over 5 years ago).  And
ports on which security/pinentry depended would be even further from my
focus:  I'm not really a developer; I don't write Qt applications.  I
merely wanted to be able to handle PGP-compatible signing & encryption
in mutt.

In any case: Thank you *very* much for your help.  I doubt I would have
made the connection to Qt3 had it not been pointed out to me rather
explicitly.

Peace,
david
