 Which version of the recorded dependencies do you have installed?

 This is not the correct solution. They are not directly needed by
 mousetweaks.
 
 Usually this error happens when some buildlink3.mk file wants to pull
 them in, but there are no DEPENDS for them (any longer?) in the
 corresponding packages, so they are not installed.
