Does anybody know why Kate wants to install pulseaudio on OpenBSD? This would be a perfect IDE.

   kate-23.08.4:libltdl-2.4.2p2: ok
   useradd: Warning: home directory `/var/run/pulse' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified
   kate-23.08.4:pulseaudio-17.0p0: ok
   kate-23.08.4:pcaudiolib-1.2: ok
   kate-23.08.4:espeak-1.51p2: ok
   kate-23.08.4:dotconf-1.3p0: ok
   kate-23.08.4:py3-xdg-0.28p2: ok

Openbsd pkg dependencies tend to be fairly coarse grained, so if you depend on KDE, you get all of KDE.
thank you for the useful reply. :-)
For the few people that might be looking for a light IDE option for OpenBSD Geany is available and works really well.
For text to speech.
Yeah, that seems to be the likely reason. But I am not sure why that ends up with pulse. But I am not the OpenBSD packager for that.
