Comment:

 Because graphviz depends on gd2 which depends on libavif which depends on
 pandoc which depends on ghc.

 So two things should happen:

 1. This bug in ghc should be fixed.
 2. graphviz should not depend on ghc because that's ridiculous. This
 should be accomplished either by having libavif not depend on pandoc
 anymore (for example by not enabling its +docs variant by default or
 moving libavif documentation to a subport) or, if that's not possible,
 having gd2 not depend on libavif anymore (that dependency was only
 [changeset:5aa81ff2d92cb7649029e248000797230901df17/macports-ports
 recently added]; gd2 obviously worked fine for 20 years without it).
