Hi Jan,

I wish the maintain of this port would resolve the problem.

The port has not been restored.

I have retested with 12.2.

Process was:

1. Clean install of FreeBSD 12.2

2. Install the X11/gnome/evdev/utouch pks: pkg install xorg gnome-desktop
xf86-input-evdev utouch-kmod

3. Install all the build tools: pkg install git autoconf automake xorg-macros
m4 pkgconf libtool

4. Install all the dependency (as pkg) to ensure pickup latest and greatest
versions: pkg install help2man libspice-server spice-protocol bison texinfo
openssl

5. Clone the ports tree via github: git clone XXX

6. Check out the old tree branck: git checkout 2020Q3

7. Edit the Makefile to remove the explicit python dependency (as per
suggestion)

8. Fix the X11 config file to pickup the QEMU Tablet Driver

Result: Able to run FreeBSD Desktop again as KVM/QEMU VM

Here is updated diff file:

$ git diff Makefile
