NetBSD beastie 7.2 NetBSD 7.2 (GENERIC.201808291900Z) sparc
>Description:
I installed NetBSD 7.2 for Sparc on an emulated Sparcstation 20 under QEMU. Then I went to install git.  This wound up installing what seems like a huge number of dependencies and then quit at this point:

===> Installing binary package of getopt-1.1.6
=> Returning to build of asciidoc-8.6.10nb1
=> Full dependency python27>=2.7.1nb2: NOT found
=> Verifying reinstall for ../../lang/python27
ERROR: This package has set PKG_FAIL_REASON:
ERROR: python27-2.7.16 uses X11, but /usr/X11R7 not found
*** Error code 1

>How-To-Repeat:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/git ; make install
>Fix:
Install X11?  Why should git require X11?

State-Changed-Why:
Not a bug.

For git without Tk X11 interfaces install git-base.
Python needs X11 for the sake of functional C interface being able to open X11 libs. This is install only dependency.

 That's not true. X11BASE is always defined to some value, so the
 installation will work fine without X installed.

 Add to /etc/mk.conf:
 PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=-x11

State-Changed-Why:
I believe as of gdt's change to devel/git on Jul 17, 2019 it no longer pulls
in the X11 interface. As already mentioned, there is also devel/git-base.
