The dependencies in each page can be installed in any order, unless one

Today, updating to FreeType-2.6, I have fixed that order. Tomorrow, it
will appear in the svn book like:

{{{
Harfbuzz-0.9.40 (first, install without it, after it is installed,
reinstall FreeType-2.6), libpng-1.6.17, and Which-2.21
}}}

If one dependency was previously installed, there is no need to
reinstall it for a another package, unless this package mentions some
different switch for that dependency, or in cases of circular dependency.


My earlier suggested wording apparently didn't catch fire. No problem, but could I suggest the following:

(first, install FreeType without Harfbuzz, after Harfbuzz is installed, 
reinstall FreeType-2.6)


Specifying FreeType and substituting Harfbuzz for "it" seems clearer.
