This is usually done by bumping PORTREVISION. As www/waterfox was removed before r482830 it missed rebuild thus still depends on the old shared library version. https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/icu4c/ > Is there any easy-ish way to work around this?

Either rebuild www/waterfox from the last revision before removal or downgrade devel/icu to 62.1 if nothing else requires 63.1. In the former case you can also update the port (adjust DISTVERSION then run "make makesum") assuming no patch conflicts.home | help
