    I run xpdf pretty much daily and am not seeing this problem. I'm
currently running the same version (installed via "pkg", not ports) and
here is what I see xpdf depending on:

xpdf-4.02,1:
    qt5-widgets-5.14.2
    qt5-gui-5.14.2
    qt5-printsupport-5.14.2
    gsfonts-8.11_8
    freetype2-2.10.1
    cups-2.2.13
    qt5-network-5.14.2
    qt5-svg-5.14.2
    png-1.6.37
    qt5-core-5.14.2_2
    qt5-concurrent-5.14.2
    desktop-file-utils-0.24

    I don't see any mention of "xcb-util". Granted, I'm also running
xpdf in a very minimal xfce4 environment so maybe there are other
underlying issues?
