#38593: ncarg @6.1.2 Dependency on lesstif: is it necessary?

     Type:  defect              |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal              |  Milestone:
Component:  ports               |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:  lesstif             |       Port:  ncarg
--------------------------------+--------------------------------
 NCAR Graphics/NCAR Command Language, a.k.a. MacPorts package ncarg @6.1.2,
 lists lesstif as a required dependency.   Unfortunately, lesstif has an
 unresolved problem as documented in other MacPort tickets (see Ticket
 #37663).

 However NCAR/CISLs site does not include lesstif in the list of packages
 that need to be installed manually before building NCARG/NCL from source
 code.   Note that all other listed dependencies for ncarg @6.1.2  ( cairo
 curl flex gcc47 gdal hdfeos hdfeos5 libxml2 proj triangle udunits2 vis5d
 wgrib2 xorg-libXaw ) will build satisfactorily on their own, safe for
 lesstif.  This version of NCAR graphics compiles and executes for current
 releases of MacOS as the binaries are available through the Earth Systems
 Grid.

 Is lesstif actually a requirement for ncarg?  If not, can it be expunged
 from the dependency list?
