The problem is most likely the update to icu. It required the rebuilding of
a lot of ports and clutter (and py-clutter) seems to run into most of
them.  Sorting them out is a royal pain.

An easier way is to install sysutils/bsddfminscripts and use pkg_libchk to
find what needs to be reinstalled. I use the command:
pkg_libchk -o | grep icu | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq > ~/reinstall-ports
portmaster -D `cat ~/reinstall-ports`

When all of the ports reported have been re-installed:
rm ~/reinstall-ports
pkg_libchk -o

The last command is to be sure that these are not any other missing
libraries. (I hit three or four that required updating for libtasn1.)

It is possible that I am misdiagnosing this, but it looks just like what I
hit.
