If this thread is not the appropriate one for my problem, I apologize.

I am the maintainer of the graphics/qgis port. Now that my system 
14.0-CURRENT is updated to clang16 and OpenSSL-3.0, I get the following 
abort message when starting qgis:

#qgis
Failed to load Legacy provider

Apparently there is now also a problem with the legacy provider here. As 
I understand it, QGIS uses the port devel/qca for authorization and 
encryption, so it is also possible that devel/qca is not able to provide 
the legacy provider. Therefore I have taken kde@ into CC.

Please let me know, if you need more information or some testing.

Thanks for your work,
Rainer
