Hi,
I have one small bug report (unfortunately not much useful info)

# portmaster textproc/pear-Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer devel/pear-OLE 
net/pear-Net_IDNA dns/pear-Net_DNS

===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
         Install textproc/pear-Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
         Install devel/pear-OLE
         Install net/pear-Net_IDNA
         Install dns/pear-Net_DNS
         Install devel/pear
         Install devel/pear-OLE
         Install security/php5-mhash
         Install security/mhash

The line "Install devel/pear-OLE" is listed twice.

Maybe it is listed two times because it is specified on commandline and 
pear-OLE is required by pear-Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer.

I am sorry that I can't provide any more useful informations, but I am 
in hurry now with this installation for a customer. :(
