Great, all ports depending on devel/gettext got bumped. My Shell script checks every single library and executable on the system with ldd and it says _nothing is amiss_ after upgrading devel/gettext. Now I am condemned to rebuild ~100 ports, even though it is completely unnecessary. I do not have to tell you that downloading all the distfiles over a GSM connection will take days. And all this for no reason at all! What's going on here? Ldd says it's not necessary. Can anyone really argue with that?
