>Description:

package wb depends on ghostscript4. From the Makefile:

     XXX ghostscript, ghostscript3 or ghostscript4 will all do.
     RUN_DEPENDS=    gs:${PORTSDIR}/print/ghostscript4

however we have ghostscript5 now, and I suppose people tends to
install the latest release of ghostscript for other purposes.

The problem in fact might impact more packages/ports: when we have
several releases of the same package, how do we specify "we want
the latest" vs. "we want any of X,Y,Z" vs. "we want this specific
version" ?

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
Not checked, but perhaps in the Makefile do the following change:
-	RUN_DEPENDS=    gs:${PORTSDIR}/print/ghostscript4
+	RUN_DEPENDS=    gs:${PORTSDIR}/print/ghostscript5
