 I've just observed it again on an amd64-8.99.9 system.  It seems to be
 an issue with graphviz's claimed dependencies not matching reality.
 Otherwise, it should have tried to build the new version of whatever
 dependency was insufficient (which would have failed when installation
 found the old version already installed).
 
 When running 'pkg_rolling-replace', the requisite dependencies for
 "graphviz" are not yet updated when it tries to update "vala" (which
 then tries to install "graphviz").
 
 Excluding "vala", "telepathy-glib", and "abiword-plugins" from being
 updated in an early run of 'pkg_rolling-replace' ultimately updates
 "graphviz"'s dependencies and it can be installed when updating "vala"
 on a later run of 'pkg_rolling-replace'.
 
 This likely wouldn't show up in bulk builds as the dependencies are already
 up-to-date.
