Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for your answer. My attempt was from a private conversation with
Stefan, who suggested to try to install py36 ports via

portmaster -m 'FLAVOR=py36' portname

and to report back. That failed, like described before.

Now I also tried your suggestion with 'portmaster
devel/py-qt5-core at py36', which stopped with the following failure:

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of py27-qt5-core
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Obviously, it does not work as expected, @py36 has no effect.

I think, it would be nice, if portmaster behaves as much as possible
like ports make and pkg.
