That's not the only one. Digikam has a hard depend on clapack, which
requires virtual/blas and thus a Fortran compiler.
Hrm. I installed kde-meta and it didn't pull in Digikam. But
I don't remember turning it off (though I would have). I
have a completely unreasonable and unjustifiable dislike for
FORTRAN so I go out of my way to keep it off my system :)
