>Description:
Possibly as a result of change ports/37348, rsync now depends on a
whole bunch of other packages including an XML parser!

This is a bit of a pain in a server environment where you want to
install the minimum amount of shrapnel. libpopt I will accept, but
the rest seem irrelevant to rsync.
>How-To-Repeat:
# pkg_add rsync-2.5.5_1.tgz
pkg_add: could not find package expat-1.95.2 !
pkg_add: could not find package libiconv-1.7_5 !
pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.1_3 !
pkg_add: could not find package popt-1.5.1_1 !

>Fix:
expat/libiconv/gettext are dependencies of popt, so I guess the
question really is why a command-line option parser depends on those
things?
