There is a bug in the net-snmp* package-suites, that 
/sw/lib/libnetsnmp.la (which is what libtool is finding when nut uses 
-lnetsnmp) is in net-snmp rather than the -dev package (the correct 
place and the one one would expect to BCon to avoid a lib) that 
contains the actual .dylib. I'm about to commit a fixed set of 
net-snmp* packages. So you'd have to BCon on several -dev (there are 
multiple libversions and also package renamings in the supported 
distros) and also on the main %N for each of them. But only the older 
%v-%r of the latest of %N because %N also contains user-land programs 
and other runtime stuff that users would be sad and confused if they 
got uninstalled. 

BCon is always a crappy crutch of a solution precisely because it 
breaks every time the actual thing you're trying to avoid changes into 
a different package. If you want to avoid a lib, need to patch the 
actual configure and/or makefiles and/or ...whatever else the package 
uses. Or else maybe easier to make it actually use the fink lib.

That's exactly what it's doing (about a half-dozen of them I found). 
There were also some stray deps no-longer-needed by recent revisions of 
the gd2 package.
