What about (same example) the mail/mutt port, which includes
LIB_DEPENDS= slang\\.1\\.:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libslang
With the trailing "\\." after the 1 this is never going to match, regardless
of how correctly the other ports' shared libraries have been installed.
Mutt is not the only port which does this - there are others which
have major and minor numbers installed, which do not show up on the
current ldconfig -r output.
Perhaps a bit of paranoid checking in bsd.port.mk's LIP_DEPENDS handling
is in order to convert the name to something reasonable before checking in
the ELF case?
