As libcheck is a unit test framework, it would be unlikely to be anything other than a BUILD_DEPENDS anyhow -- and if you use pkgng with a repo, the only packages you'ld install and the only dependencies pkgng would record are the RUN_DEPENDS and LIB_DEPENDS. So I don't know why it appeared on your older systems, but having it disappear on the updated ones would be correct and the expected outcome. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
