The checksums shown as "Portfile checksum" in your output are not the values set in the current Portfile.

Hmm, I will check when I am back to that machine what went wrong.

Ok, you are right, yet the issue persists. I have verified that I do not have a custom portfile of LyX now and MacPorts uses the default portfile. But somehow it remembers wrong checksum (possibly from an earlier custom portfile, since then removed).

Ports are synced, and the portfile has the correct checksum. So what can it be? A broken index? But this is the only port I see this problem with. I build a lot during past few days due to a month gap. Everything else is fine.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The Portfile switches the version number and checksums when the +qt4 variant is selected. Ports aren't allowed to change the version in a variant because that doesn't work properly.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This specific problem, the checksum mismatch, is solvable:

However the general problem with switching versions in a variant is not solvable by a port because MacPorts wasn't designed to accommodate it. There is only one entry for a port in the portindex. One set of information, including the port's version. Let's say that the portindex records the port's information with no variants selected, so the version of this port in the index is 2.4.2. But the user installs the port with the +qt4 variant, so the version that's actually installed is 2.3.8. Every time the user runs port outdated, MacPorts will tell the user that version 2.4.2 is available, even though it isn't. The user will try to run sudo port upgrade LyX which will do nothing.

For this port, the general problem is not quite so bad because the port enables the +qt4 variant by default on some systems. There are separate portindexes for each major OS version on each architecture, so on those systems where the +qt4 variant is selected by default, the 2.3.8 version will be recorded in the index and port outdated won't show misleading information. There will only be a problem if the user tries to select the +qt4 or +qt5 variant if that was not the default. You could avoid the problem entirely by removing the qt4 and qt5 variants and just force the port into qt4 or qt5 mode as required by the OS version. Or you could make separate qt4 and qt5 versions of the port, using subports if you desire.
