#42704: meld @1.8.4_0 missing build dependency on rarian

     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:           |       Port:  meld
---------------------+--------------------------------
 MacOS 10.9.2, XCode 5.0.2.

 Meld 1.8.4_0 appears to be missing a build dependency on rarian.  When I
 attempt to install meld, the build fails when it tries to run
 `scrollkeeper-preinstall`; I've attached the log.

 I can recover from this error by running
 {{{
 port clean --all meld
 port install rarian
 port install meld
 }}}
 and then meld builds and installs successfully.

 Note that this problem only appears when installing binary packages.  I
 have another machine on which I build all packages from source
 ("`buildfromsource always`" in macports.conf), and this error doesn't
 appear there.  I think that must be because one of meld's dependencies has
 its own build dependency on rarian, ensuring that rarian is available once
 `port` gets around to building meld.
