 Hi,
 
 I ran into this same problem (bin-install unexpectedly not
 installing dependencies which already exist as binary packages),
 and I don't think it's a bug (though it did take me a while to
 figure out how to fix it).  It appears that the solution is to
 set DEPENDS_TARGET="bin-install".  To fix it for the pkg_comp
 case, just add
 
 DEPENDS_TARGET="bin-install"
 MKCONF_VARS="DEPENDS_TARGET"
 
 to your .conf file. Perhaps we should change the DEPENDS_TARGET
 to default to bin-install when bin-install is the primary target?
 
 
 Cheers,
 Chris
