I think setting up a fresh one using lcitool would be preferable, as
you'd then be reasonably sure that there are no unrelated factors
messing with your attempts to reproduce and debug.

At the very least, you should make sure you update all ports before
getting down to business, since the python3-libxml2 fix is relatively
recent.

Doing so doesn't really result in additional information being
printed out: it still just quietly hangs there.
