geany @1.26 +gtk3: Dependency 'vte-2.90' not found

[majoc-at-astro (majoc-at-astro)]

This dependency seems to have been removed in commit 5162975/macports-ports, apparently under the wrong name:

vte-2.09: remove outdated vte version, no dependents

[majoc-at-astro (majoc-at-astro)]

Apologies for the truncated logfile (only spotted while I was submitting it). My meta-logfile contains the tail of the tale:

### (769 of 891: mp_merged.bash) port install geany +gtk3 (Thu Mar 22 02:43:27 GMT 2018)
### # (769 of 891: mp_merged.bash) port_install_1 geany +gtk3 (Thu Mar 22 02:43:27 GMT 2018)
--->  Computing dependencies for geany
Error: Dependency 'vte-2.90' not found.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port geany failed

I can produce the full logfile if necessary. Please let me know if there's anything else you wish me to try.

I opened a port abandoned ticket at #57151. The port is heavily outdated, the reason why the missing dependency was not spotted was because it's only used in a non-default variant and MacPorts would not report that one by default.

Both vte and geany are outdated. It could be that by updating both ports one could simply replace the dependency by vte rather than vte-2.90, but I don't know how much effort is involved in updating both ports. Certainly worth trying.

In c080ffe66c0ed9a0d8490a2c7190155b48d39ac5/macports-ports (master):

geany: update to 1.33, fixes

• Update to version 1.33.
• Fix dependencies and make the +gtk3 variant default.
• Call the old default a gtk2 variant (just in case anyone still needs it).
