Comment(by gale@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 snc@…]:
 > At some point was upgrade run on these ports?

 On a regular basis, I do:

 {{{
 sudo port sync; port outdated; sudo port -u upgrade outdated
 }}}

 That's about it.

 Yes, somehow the above regualr upgrade process seems to
 have caused that. And I'll emphasize that this has
 happened several times before, with other ports.

 That is now. Apparently,  xorg-libs did depend on
 xorg-lbxutil before the latter was removed from
 MacPorts.

 > Perhaps simply do a force uninstall to get rid of the symptoms?

 Well, yes. But I'm going to wait this time, in case
 someone wants me to investigate further.
