>Description:

I was checking parts of the aster ports and I found this:
 
.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
RUN_DEPENDS+=	acroread:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread5
.endif
 
 acroread is not the only package that can read *.pdf . I happen to prefer gv as I don't need the linux libraries to use it. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Aster installs the linux libraries but these are not needed. the problem has been reviewed by the original porter (Thierry Thomas) and the solution was OK'd
>Fix:
Please remove the following lines from the fr-eficas Makefile:

.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
RUN_DEPENDS+=	acroread:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread5
.endif
