 Sorry, I meant of the other dependencies.
 Perhaps just send "pkg_info" output if it's not too long.

 Uh-oh :)
 
 As I just wrote in a different bug report:
 
 I'm pretty sure you built mousetweaks against other packages that
 still had the dependencies you noted and it inherited them.
 
 There's not much I can do now.
 
 The proper fix is to include the correct-at-the-time-of-building
 buildlink3.mk files in the binary packages and use those for building
 against dependencies.
 
 Fixing that is too big for me for now though.
 
 On your side, one possible fix is: rebuild e.g. in a sandbox at least
 the dependencies, better all your packages, and install them. Or
 install the dependencies manually as you did.
 
 I'm sorry, I know those aren't nice solutions.
