 It emits three results:
 freetype2>=2.4.5 freetype2>=2.1.3 freetype2>=2.1.3
 
 Can I find out where the first dependency is coming from?

 The first one, "freetype2>=2.4.5", would be a real problem, I guess?

 Hmm.  This is a 7.1_STABLE system and pkgsrc is 2017Q1. I don't remember
 when 7.1 was released, but I wouldn't think that it is much too old for
 2017Q1.

 No. There's nothing.

 It is "native".

 Correct. That's the case.
