Dear all,

Here's an interesting bug.  The lang/gcc32 port (as required to
compile OpenOffice) has a dependency on itself -- but only when it is
/already/ installed:

    % cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc32
    % pkg_info -I gcc\*=20
    gcc-3.2.3_3         GNU Compiler Collection 3.2.3
    % make -V BUILD_DEPENDS=20
    gmake:/usr/ports/devel/gmake gcc32:/usr/ports/lang/gcc32
    % sudo pkg_delete gcc-3.2.3_3
    % make -V BUILD_DEPENDS=20
    gmake:/usr/ports/devel/gmake

As far as I can tell, this has no practical effect on installing or
maintaining gcc32, but it has had unfortunate effects on some index
building software of mine.  This problem has been apparent for about
one week now, but I haven't been able to track down exactly the commit
that triggered it.

Anyhow, I've added a fix to my p5-FreeBSD-Portindex port, along with
some other changes and will be uploading a new release version
shortly.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
