Ah here we go.
So you're hitting general issue with installing A, optional autodetected
dependency of B, later, and having C, which depends on B, recorded A as
it's dependency.
This is general ports system design definiency and I don't know how to
fix it.
Or you're hitting the cdrdao port weirdness that it depends on gnome--
but checks presence of gnomelibs?=20
--=20
