I find that surprising, because, typically, that is not how
dependencies are handled in Ports. Most ports have a dependency
triplet, say,
..._DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/bin/foo:${PORTSDIR}/bat/bar...
but they don't go to any trouble to determine whether foo, if present,
is actually from, for example, the bat/bar or bat/bar-devel port.
It's enough that it is present, and the dependency is correctly
registered for default package builds. A few might have a knob to
toggle dependencies for the convenience of the user, but the version
isn't usually checked even when such a knob is present. Something
like the attached patch is usually considered sufficient.
