 (rather than build) dependency of gnumeric. Is it possible that yelp only
 ''became'' a dependency with the current version of gnumeric (1.10.17_4)?
 > Yes.  You can remove that line from the portfile if you wish (you just
 won't be able to use the built in help).  Yelp depends on webkit-gtk,
 which depends on a lot of other things, enchant being one.

 I don't know how to edit portfiles in this manner. It sounds a bit messy.

 Ah, but that spoils the simplicity of the "port upgrade outdated"
 maintenance paradigm. If I want to *avoid* upgrading just this one
 package, I have to do all the later (alphabetically) port upgrades by
 hand.

 In fact, my temporary solution has been to uninstall gnumeric altogether.
 I don't remember why I needed it in the first case, and this is too much
 hassle. I'm CCed on the "make aspell optional in enchant" ticket (#39592).
