# pkg info | grep libxml
libxml2-2.9.13                 XML parser library for GNOME
py38-libxml2-2.9.13_2          Python interface for XML parser library 
for GNOME

Aaah... that explains it.

You're lucky.

I have the same issue - it updates on half our boxes, but on the other 
half. On the half where updates fail, it's because libxml2.a does not exist.

I have the latest Ports tree. Is it possible that the libxslt Port 
update is unaware about libxml2.a being removed in 2.9.13?

Could it be a sequencing issue, i.e., which Port was updated first in 
the upgrade process?

Mark.
