While this appears to match the documentation, I think this is very unintuitive. Could it be changed so that whether build-time dependencies are taken into account depends on whether a binpkg is found, just as would be done without --onlydeps ?

Created attachment 99620 [details, diff]
pull in build time deps of package arguments with --onlydeps

This is fixed in svn r4675.

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2006-10-14 00:56:44 UTC]

This has been released in 2.1.2_pre3.
