How do we adjust this? I had a look with "objdump -x ..../libcups* | grep NEEDED" and I only see the dependency to gnutls. I committed this. For the libgpg-error dependency I suggest you search in the the involved binaries and libs with in a similar way than above for the source of the dependency to libgpg-error. > For that matter, the acroread port needs to depend on the libcups > too.

For critical dependencies (ports which are depended upon by several ports) it is better when a group of people maintain them (more people are always welcome ;-) ).
