libxfce4ui @4.16.1: Couldn't find include 'Libxfce4util-1.0.gir'

[Octopus1348 (Octopus)]

A lot of XFCE stuff depends on libxfce4ui, so they can't be installed. When trying to install on Sonoma (Intel), I get an error:

We get the same error on our Sonoma x86_64 buildbot worker:

Still an issue on my system. Oddly enough, if I install libxfce4util from source (sudo port -s install libxfce4util) then the issue goes away. I suspect that if libxfce4util and libxfce4ui are both installed via binary or both via source, then there wouldn't be an issue, but since libxfce4ui is missing a build for the latest macOS, it creates a discrepancy. The build output of libxfce4util should probably be adjusted to include Libxfce4util-1.0.gir.

Should be fixed by ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/23687 as it will trigger a rebuild of the libraries.
