Exactly.
I came across then when installing math/octave - octave depends on
print/texinfo and graphics/GraphicsMagick13, which in turn depends on
x11/dgs.
As I've seen a couple of such texinfo problems (texinfo upstream tightened
the rules on "acceptable texi files" in version 5.0), I'm thinking about
a general fix for this by having TEXI2HTML etc. defined to the "right"
version of texinfo, but that's just an idea...

Rergards,
Christoph
