meld @1.8.4_0 missing build dependency on rarian

[rcobbe]

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.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers meld).
