So you'd better posting to freebsd-ports ML rather than freebsd-current.

If the issue was related with /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, it could be
fit here (freebsd-current), as in such cases mechanism to always make
the directory at the end of library search path would be wanted,
which should be in base.


Looking into Mk/Uses/qt.mk, the "tools" in USE_QT are expanded into
devel/qt6-tools and it exists. ("tools:build" means it's only applicable
for build time.) qt5 doesn't have component "tool", but it's specified
only for QT6 option in editors/libreoffice/Makefile.

And as mine was configured with old default (still specifying QT5),
tried new default (enabling GTK3 and switching QT5 to QT6),
fetch succeeded and fetch-recursive, too (if specifying
"DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes" in the command line, due to libxslt
vulnerability). My ports tree is at commit 0722733030c8.

Not yet tried building, though, as my poudriere builders are too
busy as of OSVERSION (comes from __FreeBSD_version) bump on stable/15.
