Comment:

 The problem was fixed in cyrus-sasl2 in
 [5848d16670ddcf04e06163a1800e00a9b5606c50/macports-ports] when it was
 bumped to the same version for all OS versions.

 I will fix the problem in zstd by revbumping it on Monterey.


 Replying to [comment:17 ednl]:
 > This problem does persist for me with `librsvg 2.40.20_4 < 2.52.3_0` on
 Monterey arm64 after `sudo port -d sync` which used `ftp.fau.de`. Is that
 mirror not yet up to date, perhaps? Compare:

 ftp.fau.de is the public master from which all the other mirrors get their
 updates.

 librsvg, gcc-devel, and libgcc-devel use `build_arch` to determine which
 port version to use, which is not permitted. Ports must use `os.arch` for
 such a determination. I can fix this in a moment.
