I have no idea how it happens, but I occasionally get circular references in the pkgdb. Also, you have to remember that what you have in /usr/ports may not be the same as what you have installed due to cvsuping the tree and holding off on rebuilding. Another complication are the various build options (ie, WITH_LAME, WITH_GTK2, WITHOUT_LDAP, etc). -- Matthew Donadio (m.p.donadio@ieee.org)
