In short, to all maintainers, please do the following:
all pkgs such be able fink build foo with out the depends line so comment it out and add what is needed to builddep line.
Also we NEED and I can't stress this enough, need proper shlibs fields.
The format is as such
Shlibs: << %p/lib/libfoo.5.dylib 4.0.0 %n (>= 4.0-1) <<
1) installed lib name of the major versioned lib, that means the actual dylib not the one of the symlinks
2) the compat version of the lib, you can get this by running otool -L on 1)
3) the lowest version of the pkg that has this lib, should almost always be %n and a -1 revision of when the compat version of this lib first made it into a fink pkg, This value shouldn't change until the next time the compat version on that lib changes.
Also contrary to some pkgs and what we may have stated before please do NOT use
foo-shlibs (>= 1.0-1) | foo-ssl-shlibs (>= 1.0-1). We may allow it for x11 and nox variants but for now please only one pkgname and version.
The more Maintainers do the faster we won't need to worry about Depends anymore :D

Chaos is the beginning and end, try dealing with the rest.

I may be misunderstanding something basic here, but outside of the perlmod packages which I don't know, I don't see many runtime dependencies at all that are not at the same time buildtime dependencies. The typical *-shlibs dependencies are usually not only needed at runtime, but also at link time. And if there really are pure runtime dependencies, they will be very hard to detect.
