 %3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17898273 The developer of xercesc3 gives
 notice that it should not be used anymore]:

 > I'd strongly advise pulling or at least deprecating (don't know the
 official process) all the Macports relying on Xerces, they're all at risk
 using this code or Xalan. I am the last maintainer left, I don't support
 the Mac for my own software anymore, and once I'm fully off Xerces in a
 few years, I seriously doubt it has a future unless somethiing changes.
 >
 > Whatever the official process is for retiring ports, I would be getting
 the crank turning on that.

 Please try to remove the xercesc3 dependency from your ports. If it is a
 mandatory dependency, please work with the upstream developers to get it
 removed from their code.
