qt3 upgrade fails (when building libdesignercore.1.0.0.dylib)

When trying to upgrade from qt3 3.3.4_4 to 3.3.4_5, I got:

You could try doing what it suggests and run ranlib on /opt/local/lib/libqassistantclient.a.

[markd@…]

The maintainer of the Qt3 port just updated it to run ranlib on libqassistantclient.a in the post-activate phase. Please do a selfupdate to get the latest ports and test again.

I no longer get any problem.
