It seems to be increasingly broken. On my desktop, any random port
claims that misc/dejagnu and lang/expect are missing. Neither are
installed, neither is installed as a dependency for any port where
'make missing' claims they are needed.
While trying to figure out which part of the recent clamav update
wanted to pull in sphinx-doc for python, it seems even worse.
Clamav is installed, and did not install any additional ports
before installing. Yet 'make missing' shows this:
Hey Warren,
What is the output of:
# make -C/usr/ports//security/clamav all-depends-list
OK, and cat /etc/make.conf?

Following our IRC conversation, I have distilled the issue down to:
make missing checks every single dependency recursively
This means, for example, that make missing will list sphinx as a missing
dependency, because llvm36 build-depends on it. However, you already
have llvm36 installed, resulting in a bogus 'missing' sphinx, even
though it won't be needed.
In my view, make missing should recurse only for actual missing
dependencies;
# find_missing origin
# Finds missing dependencies
find_missing() {
# check for installed of unified depends list (of ONLY $1)
for d in ${found_deps_that_are_not_installed}; do
find_missing $d
done
}
Does anyone disagree? Unfortunately I can't prove that the behaviour
was anything other than the current one, which I think is wrong. Please
see relevant (I think) changes below.
