Perhaps this is worse - now attempt to build it goes through building
the newly-needed python3.(9 in my case) packages and subsequent
installation fails as in:
...
=> Creating binary package
/usr/pkgsrc/graphics/py-cairo/work/.packages/py39-cairo-1.20.1.tgz
===> Building binary package for py39-cairo-1.20.1
=> Creating binary package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/py39-cairo-1.20.1.tgz
===> Installing binary package of py39-cairo-1.20.1
pkg_add: Conflicting PLIST with py37-cairo-1.20.1: include/pycairo/py3cairo.h
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed
*** Error code 1

....

thereby requiring a full switch from python3.7 to 3.9...

I would suggest adding the abovementioned pyhon-3.7-embed.pc to
python37 package, which should allow embedding it elsewhere as well; I
do not know why this file is missing in 3.7 and present in the others
when it actually works.

By the way, as far as the original discussed package - www/liferea -
is concerned, the version in pkgsrc is 1.12.8; the current version is
1.13.6. If one applies the trivial patch (just upping the version in
Makefile and distinfo; make distinfo && make package && make
print-PLIST > PLIST && make repackage) it actually builds and runs,
but does not display the feeds at all, sans any error messages, so for
now I'd stick to the working version.
