            Bug ID: 238254
           Summary: print/harfbuzz: Build fails due to undeclared bogus
                    dependency on lang/python36
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

Attempting to update a 12-STABLE (amd64) system to the latest version of ports,
but retaining python 2.7 as the default via "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=2.7" in
/etc/make.conf fails during the build phase with the error "env:
/usr/local/bin/python3.6: No such file or directory".

Looking at the change history for the port, it doesn't seem as though this was
a change in the harfbuzz port itself, but a result of the Python default
version change having (yet another*) unexpected impact. Due to non-response to
other reports about the Python change, I'm reporting this bug against harfbuzz
as it should be possible for this port to override whatever is causing the
issue.

* I won't repeat my rants about the ill-advised change to 3.6 as the default,
other than to point to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/Python3Default which
shows a large number of ports incompatible with 3.x which were not addressed
before the default version was changed.
