Generally, packages are suppose to depend on print/ghostcript, which
looks at the option variable PKG_OPTIONS.gs_type, and then depends on
-gpl (old, with a license some like better) or -agpl (current, with a
license some don't like better).

So I'd say that absent a good explanation, it's a bug to depend on
either directly.  But the string "ghost" does not appear in
meta-packages/texlive-collection-*/*.

So if you can explain which packages depend on ghostcript directly,
someone can look at it.

It is possible that your problem is that you changed the
PKG_OPTIONS.gs_type variable and haven't rebuilt, or something like
that.

I've kicked off a build of meta-packages/texlive-collection-all (on
netbsd-7 amd64 with pkgsrc head), and will try to fix anything
easy/obvious.
