>Description:
While updating print/cups-base, I selected GVFS_OPEN.  Then when I ran portmaster, I noticed that it was repeatedly updating the same ports:

print/cups-base >> gvfs-1.0.3 >> gconf2-2.24.0 >> gtk-2.14.7 >> print/cups-base >> gvfs-1.0.3 >> gconf2-2.24.0 >> gtk-2.14.7 >> ..

I tracked the problem down due to the recently selected option GVFS_OPEN, and the automatic dependency on print/cups-base in x11-toolkits/gtk20.

To allow the build to continue, I had to access another console, change to /usr/ports/print/cups-base and then run 'make config' to unselect GVFS_OPEN.

Another thing I noticed is that if both XDG_OPEN and GVFS_OPEN are selected, GVFS_OPEN takes precedence.  The XDG_OPEN and GVFS_OPEN options are used to replace htmlview in WRKSRC/desktop/cups.desktop.

XDG_OPEN and GVFS_OPEN should be marked as conflicting options, since only one can be used.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install print/cups-base with GVFS_OPEN selected, this will then install gvfs, gconf2, and x11-toolkits/gtk20.

Then use portmaster to reinstall print/cups-base:

portmaster -B -f -u -d print/cups-base

It will then result in a circular dependency between print/cups-base and x11-toolkits/gtk20
>Fix:
Work around is to unselect GVFS_OPEN.
