>Description:
'make show-depends' returns duplicate entries. Here is an example
for 'meta-pkgs/modular-xorg':

meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-fonts/% make show-depends     
font-adobe-100dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-100dpi
font-adobe-100dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-100dpi
font-adobe-75dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-75dpi
font-adobe-75dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-75dpi
font-adobe-utopia-100dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-utopia-100dpi
font-adobe-utopia-100dpi-[0-9]*:../../fonts/font-adobe-utopia-100dpi
[...]

The ${DEPENDS} variable contains each one only once. Original mail can be found here: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2007/10/15/0005.html

It fixes the problem and do not seems to causes any fall-out. However, it does not answer the question is 'is the script doing what it is supposed to do ?'.
