Re: [dia dependencies in darwin ports]

Hi guys : I have two weird problems.

A few weeks ago, I followed the port installation instructions for Dia, and they worked. (http://dia.darwinports.com/)
Then I noticed one day it miraculously was gone ?! I launched my  
terminal, typed dia, and nothing happened.!
So I tried to reinstall dia from using the port instructions and got  
the following error
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gtk2 gtk-doc gnome- 
doc-utils py25-libxml2 py25-numeric rarian getopt intltool gnome- 
common jpeg pango Xft2 xorg-xproto xorg-util-macros shared-mime-info  
tiff libart_lgpl popt
A lot of these dependencies should be optional or are dragged in by something else. Dia does not depend on py25-libxml2 py25-numeric rarian (I don't even know what this is).
There is also no direct dependency to jpeg and tiff.

What gives ?

If dia is written in python, then shouldnt it be easy to run as a python app ?
If some distributor screws his dependency list what should we do about?
Dia can be extended by Python plug-ins but that depency is optional as well.

Please help ! My company has lots of design docs in dia and I'm desperate to access them again !
So please try to contact the maintainers in darwinports.
Or switch to an official supported platform ;)
