            Bug ID: 236424
           Summary: print/ghostscript9-agpl-base indirectly depends on X11
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

It is stated that ghostscript9-agpl-base is supposed not to depend on X11.
However, by requiring print/cups (due to library libcupsimage.so) the
dependency chain from cups includes libraries:
libavahi-client.so : net/avahi-app
libdbus-1.so : devel/dbus
both of which depend on X11. This conflicts with the intention of not requi=
ring
X11.

This dependency seems to be a consequence of merging cups-image into cups o=
n 11
Mar 2016, as previously (valid when ghostscript9-agpl-base was created to be
the non-X11 part on 2015-08-22) libcupsimage.so was in print/cups-image and=
 did
not cause this dependency.

(Note, I am using packages, so I cannot choose to unselect CUPS. I do not n=
eed
CUPS, actually I would not even need ghostscript itself but it is a depende=
ncy
of graphics/ImageMagick7-nox11 and since ghostscript9-agpl-base also claims=
 to
not depend on X11, I think this is the right point to intervene.)
