I am trying to upgrade Ruby, and build Firefox 3.0.11, and they both
want to build gcc43 because of gfortran. Really? Firefox needs
gfortran to build? I bet not.
Anyway, when they try and build gcc43 (of May 31st) on my system, I
get into an infinite loop by the pkg system saying that gcc43 requires
gfortran to build, that gfortran is not present... the script finally
dies.
This happens even if I simply do this:
cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc43
make
It dies there too. So now I cannot upgrade firefox, noway, nohow.
Interestingly enough I have gcc44 (with gfortran44!) on the system but
these dependencies do not consider that a substitute.
I have cvsup'd the ports trees, done portsdb -uF, pkgdb -F, and
portupgrade -ar a billion times. It does not help. Everything was
fine yesterday, Jun 12th for me. The change came in with Firefox
3.0.11 and some /usr/ports/devel/nspr package that Firefox needs.
Something is messed up in the dependencies.
