 dia uses `xml2-config --libs` to determine what libs to use, it should be
 changed to `xml2-config --libs --dynamic`.

 Assuming it's really an indirect dependency and not an undeclared direct
 dependency, but a bit of grepping seems to indicate that this is the case.
 The actual build procedure involves an autogen script, so some digging
 will probably be needed to sort out the build options.  There's no
 evidence that this is a MacPorts-specific bug.

 much. [https://ports.macports.org/port/icu/details/ Port health
 indicators] are currently green and I don't see any critical bug reports
 so if you know of a system it fails on please file a bug report.

 It appears that I was mistaken on this point.  I thought I'd seen an icu
 failure go flying by while updating 23 systems after a three-week absence.
