i've installed FreeBSD 8.1

 uname -a
  FreeBSD test.loc 8.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Jul 19
02:55:53 UTC 2010
root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

and, 'portupgrade',

 pkg_info | grep -i portupgrade
  portupgrade-2.4.6_4,2 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and
management tool s
 portupgrade --v#ersion
  portupgrade 2.4.6
 portinstall --version
  portinstall 2.4.6

but at portinstall of any/all pacakges (here, an e.g. with 'nano'), i
get a  "(RecursiveDependencyError)",

portinstall nano

i've uninstalled ruby & portupgrade, and reinstalled portupgrade, but no change.

any hints as to what to fix?
