Try: pkg repo /var/synth/live_packages It could be that you system is so far back in the past that running synth just-build /pathname/to/packagelist && synth rebuild-repository is so much better. I ran make -C /usr/ports/print/tex-dvipsk all-depends-list on one of my well-maintained systems, and graphviz didn't show up at all. I might have disabled something in some of the ports that in turn removes the need for graphviz. -- Trond.
