Avoidable by locking ghostwriter-24.02.2 :-)

… now only supports qt6 …
Upstream decided to only support it [1] [2]
The port can only reflect upstream development. I held some updates in
the last few months because those were crashing for me and I was not
able to fix it. This version is not crashing.
I'm not using KDE/KF[56], but I do use ghostwriter with qt6 and some
other applications with qt6/kf6 dependencies.
Just my opinion as a user.
Basically ports depend on kf* ports should NOT switch to Qt6 until KDE5
is remaining as defaut KDE on FreeBSD. The exceptions would be:
*KDE6 ports themselves,
*Security fix is available only for KF6 versions upstream.
Unless the second reason, if upstream stops support building with kf5,
ports should be stick with currently in-tree version and wait for KDE6
to be default on ports.
Don't see a good reason to force everyone to use an old version.
Anyway the ports tree is open source, nothing stops anyone from
proposing (with himself as maintainer) a new port for the old version
calling it "ghostwriter-qt5" or whatever.
