I have run into problems with portmaster. The problem is that it doesn't
check whether a dependency is satisfied. It just goes ahead and installs
them.

I think a dependency like:
	latex:${PORTSDIR}/print/teTeX-base

shouldn't cause portmaster to install teTeX-base. Not if a latex
binary is already available.
