>Description:
The file sysutils/libol/Makefile contains the line "BUILD_DEPENDS+=        
scsh-[0-9]*:../../shells/scsh". The author of libol says that scsh is only 
needed if you make changes to the original source and need to regenerate the C 
code and that scsh isn't needed for simply compiling the software (see 
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2000-August/000795.html). My own 
tests confirm this.

Excessive dependencies in pkgsrc are somewhat annoying.
>How-To-Repeat:
Type "bmake package" in sysutils/syslog-ng and watch scsh get built.

>Fix:
Delete the line "BUILD_DEPENDS+=        scsh-[0-9]*:../../shells/scsh" from 
sysutils/libol/Makefile.
