www-servers/lynx has libidn as a dependency listed. However it also supports libidn2 and on a system where both are available it'll choose libidn2. Given libidn2 is the successor of libidn, I think it'd make sense to just default to depending on libidn2. Package is maintainer-needed, CCing sam@ who did the last version bump. I can also change it myself of course.
I wonder how many other things are using libidn when they support libidn2. I ended up finding a bunch of these before for libpcre vs libpcre2. Anyway, good spot, thank you, and I'm sorry for not spotting it when I did the bump. Support was added in...
