Are you really saying that "sudo port selfupdate" took six hours? Or
was it a "sudo port upgrade outdated" after the selfupdate?
The latter could be OK, if there were large ports to be compiled from
source; I would be very worried of the former.

Usually this means that sip was updated but pyqt4 or
python-poppler-qt4 still are not.
The solution would be the one mentioned by Philippe: rebuild
py27-pyqt4 and py27-python-poppler-qt4. [1]

There actually was an update of sip port yesterday that I didn't
notice until now, but...

... you apparently have the same versions installed as me, and not the
newer version of sip, and my installation doesn't have sip API
problems.

(Just a side note: you don't need to use "sudo" with port commands if
you are only retrieving information about ports.)

Anyway, I've just updated all ports ("sudo port sync", "sudo port
upgrade outdated") without rebuilding python-poppler-qt4, and they are
still working as expected.

Maybe the outdated port is pyqt4: can you tell me the output of "port
installed name:pyqt4"?

MacPorts doesn't let you deactivate ports that are dependencies of
other ports: you must use the force ("-f") option if you really want
to do that.

OK. I don't think it is a problem with Frescobaldi.

Let me say this: yes, you did the bad thing.
If you manually installed stuff inside MacPorts' tree (/opt/local),
it's very likely that you are going to have similar problems in the
future.

Now you have a working Frescobaldi, but if you'll have problems in the
future, I'll be happy to help.

Best wishes.

[1] This is a task for Portfile writers: whenever a dependency x of
port y is updated and rebuilding port y is required, the Portfile
writer increases the "revision number" of port y, so MacPorts knows
that there was an update, even if the version number does not change.
This is usually done at the same time as the update in port x, but
since my Portfiles aren't in the main repository, I need to notice the
update of port sip and then update my ports.
Anyway, the latest update of sip didn't change the API, so this is not
what happened this time.

Davide, you are (as we say in Australia) an utter legend!

I was reluctant to touch my painfully installed, nearly working version of Frescobaldi, but it broke when I tried to install something else. There was a problem installing Poppler, but uninstalling and reinstalling the dependencies fixed that. Now for the first time MIDI is working (I had assumed Portmidi was permanently broken on Mac), and Poppler can now display large documents properly.

Thank you!
