>Description:
        The upgrade of graphics/jasper a couple of weeks ago
        requires a revbump of print/ghostscript - old ghostscript
        packages do not wort with the new jasper (different library
        version I suspet).

>How-To-Repeat:
        Upgrade jasper (after the pkgsrc upgrade of it), retain
        binary packages for ghostscript (etc) which have not been
        upgraded, and so, apparently, do not need upgrading.
        Then try upgrading to the latest doxygen (or just about
        anything else that runs ghostscript) and watch that fail with
        unresolver references to libjasper (the jasper dependency is
        satisfied, the newer version gets installed correctly).

>Fix:
        PKGREVISION++ in print/ghostscript (maybe more??)  That way
        at least it is obvious that recompiling ghostscript is likely
        to be a useful thing to do.

        Binary package dependencies in current pkgsrc really suck...
