Problem with dependency of gconf on libxml

Problem: The devel/gconf port depends on "libxml".  But it's not
automatically installed.  I suspect this is because "libxml2" is
installed.  This could be a problem in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk.

The error I got was that various header files in the "libxml" directory
could not be found.  Perhaps checking for "libxml" should also check if
the "libxml" header files can be found?

Manually installing the "textproc/libxml" port solved the problem.

I updated the ports tree just before running this (27 Oct 22.00h MET).

Ask me if you need more info.
