Indeed, on solaris 10 freetype picks up harfbuzz automatically. I don't 
think the suggested procedure of building freetype, then harfbuzz then 
freetype again can be done in mgar.

Luckily there is --without-harfbuzz, which I quickly added and commited.

I hope I fixed the receipe. However I cannot check the packages, all the 
dependencies seem wrong, I get overrides suggested for things which are 
there. Strangely, only on 10, on 9 not...
Could the broken catalog cause that? What can we do?

I commited everything if you need to try.

PS: could I have noticed this somehow? checks and upload went fine?
