Looks like the same problem reported in #60166 about another port. Maybe the fix from there would work here too. I don't know why this is happening or how many other ports might be affected.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Yes, this is a duplicate of #60166.

The atk typelib was fixed in changeset:9dc5aba19af82ee50aff4a84f9646cb5db8efc97/macports-ports.

AFAIK all known instances of broken typelibs due to the gobject-introspection @rpath issue have now been repaired.
