Hi n j,

I'm the maintainer of security/logcheck, and I apologize for not
catching up with my inbox sooner.  I just saw your message, and the same
issue was reported by someone else a couple of weeks ago.

I have it on my list to update the port to avoid using docbook-to-man.
In the mean, please apply the attached patch to your Makefile, and it
will prevent all of those deps from getting included in the build.

Also, please cc the port maintainer when reporting a port-related bug to
freebsd-questions@, since not all of them follow the list.  The easy way
to obtain the maintainer's email address is:

make -V MAINTAINER

Cheers,
Greg
