Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc43

[Dan Allen]

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.
