Comment:

 Replying to [comment:7 blair]:
 > I've seen this failure if `libxml2` is linked against an older `icu` and
 `icu` is upgraded to a binary incompatible release, which would require
 `libxml2` to be recompiled.

 That's not it in this case. I built libxml2 on 10.4 Intel yesterday and I
 experience this problem with itstool today.

 All it's doing to test for the presence of py39-libxml2 is to run `import
 libxml2`, which fails if I run it manually:

 This is #63164.
