qt5-qtenginio is obsolete and should be uninstalled. Your old version of qt5 still depended on it. If you had first upgraded qt5 to the latest version, 5.7.1, it would no longer have depended on it and you could have uninstalled it without issue. Your transcript shows that when you told MacPorts to install qt5, it did nothing, which means qt5 was already installed at the latest version. Are you sure your ports are up to date? Have you run `sudo port selfupdate` lately? Do you have any local portfiles that override any of the official portfiles? What is the output of `port installed name:qt5`? webkit2-gtk does take hours to build; that's normal enough. You shouldn't have had to recompile anything, because nothing should have been broken. Some ports may be broken because you have an older version of qt5, and that problem would go away if you properly upgrade qt5.
