"pkg_info emacs" returns this for the dependancies, now:

jpeg>=6b
jpeg>=6bnb2
libungif>=4.1.0.1
libungif>=4.1.3nb1
png>=1.2.4
png>=1.2.6nb1
tiff>=3.6.1
tiff>=3.6.1nb3

...looks fishy.  (^&  Is anyone else seeing this?  (I updated pkgsrc
quite recently.)  It doesn't seem especially harmful, but also does
not look right.

This doesn't seem to have been mentioned in tech-pkg that I can see, so
as far as I know it is unreported and unplanned.  I've never seen it
before, so I assume that it is relatively new.

Or does it reflect indirect dependancies?  Shouldn't only the "highest"
dependancy be displayed?
