Remove the runtime dependency is a bug either because there are a few
that need it in the runtime dependency. I have written a best solution
than remove that runtime line. It will be 99% bug free when all ports
have the right :build/:run.

Quiet simple, I do not have time for that huge project. I already have
added :build/:run feature before anyone complain about the pkg-config
dependency. The feature happened to address this issue and fix all
pkg-config dependency was not part of my TODO list. My method does not
break before or after patch any port, but still have the wrong
dependency which it's minor and can be fixed by edit to
pkgconfig:build.
