It definitely is, it's a hard dependency only if you enable Display
Postscript support.
Normally, a ./configure script will detect what's available and simply
disable optional stuff anyway (or fail with an error if a required
package is unavailable)

On my setup, this works as expected, there are no errors / warnings.

One of the reason I prefer using Gentoo Linux - when installing a
package, I can selectively enable / disable features (e.g. postscript
support in this case), which means the package manager will only pull in
the required packages:


Code:
--------------------
    
  * dependency graph for media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.3.31
  `--  media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.3.31  amd64 
  `--  dev-libs/libltdl-2.4.6  (dev-libs/libltdl) amd64 
  `--  media-libs/libpng-1.6.35-r1  (media-libs/libpng) ~amd64 
  `--  sys-libs/zlib-1.2.11-r2  (sys-libs/zlib) ~amd64 
  `--  media-libs/freetype-2.9.1-r4  (>=media-libs/freetype-2) ~amd64

netpbm is really old, haven't used it for decades...
