Issues with libquicktime

Hi!

I did the update to Xcode 5 & installed Command Line Tools last week.

Yesterday I did my occasional [code]sudo port upgrade outdated[/code]
and for the first time had this error.  I'm not sure which of the ports
that I have installed required libquicktime but now it requires
libquicktime-devel.

I got this error msg.
[code]
--->  Computing dependencies for libquicktime-devel
Error: Unable to exec port: Can't install libquicktime-devel because
conflicting ports are installed: libquicktime[/code]

I did a clean and tried again with same error.

So I thought I'd remove libquicktime and then let the upgrade proceed as
usual.  That didn't work either.  But now I know which ports require
libquicktime.

[code]
--->  Unable to uninstall libquicktime @1.2.4_7, the following ports

[/code]

I don't want to uninstall mjpegtools & transcode as this will cause all
sorts of other port to require uninstalling. 

How do I get the upgrade outdated to update with libquicktime rather
than trying to install libquicktime-devel? 

Also, how do I figure out which port decided it needs libquicktime-devel
now instead of libquicktime?

Thanks in advance.
