It seems you're right! Running `port installed expat`, I saw I had the
universal variant installed. In fact I apparently had multiple ports of
that variant installed. No clue why though.
I checked and couldn't find any installed ports that depend on these
universal variants, so I reinstalled them as normal/non-universal ports.
And AFAICT this has fixed the issue; diffutils-for-muniversal is no
longer needed and (so far) no additional problems have occurred.
Thanks for the help!
Take care,
Seth McDonald.
