In spirit of a beginner's first question to 'freebsd-ports' please tell =
me why bash depends on x11?

in /etc/make.conf I had WITHOUT_X11=3Dyes and I ended up needing Xvfb. =
This is confusing to me. I get into a nasty loop of failed dependencies:

make install -DWITHOUT_X11 bash
[snip]
=3D=3D=3D>   xorg-vfbserver-1.6.0,1 depends on executable: Xvfb - not =
found
=3D=3D=3D>    Verifying install for Xvfb in =
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-vfbserver
=3D=3D=3D>   xorg-vfbserver-1.6.0,1 depends on executable: Xvfb - not =
found
[snip many same lines]

same result if I remove the WITHOUT_X11 from cmd-line and make.conf and =
try to make install Xvfb in x11-servers/xorg-vfbserver and the same =
result if I cd  x11-servers; make install

>pwd=20
/usr/ports/shells/bash

# this dependency chain is to my mind very wrong for bash, why?
