And, now another poudriere bulk run is in progress....the final obstacle was
that I some how had a dependency loop...

pulseaudio-0.9.23_2 -> jackit-0.121.3_5 -> doxygen-1.8.7_1,1 ->
tex-web2c-20140525 -> zziplib-0.13.62_1 -> sdl-1.2.15_4,2 -> pulseaudio-0.9.23_2

Wonder how that came to be....forget why I had turned on JACK in pulseaudio on
one system, its not set on the others....so changing that broke the loop ;)
