Bug 265936: editors/libreoffice-i18n: infinite dependency loop when upgrading
via portmaster
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=265936



--- Description ---
Scenario:
- FreeBSD 12.3 latest patches
- ports latest
- libreoffice-i18n installed with languages French, German, Italian, and
Portuguese
- upgrading ports using portmaster

Result:
- portmaster runs into an infinite dependency loop while gathering the ports to
be updated:

===>>> All >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >>
de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >>
de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >>
de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >>
de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 >> de-libreoffice-7.3.5.2 (13/13)

Expected result:
- portmaster should work normally

Notes:
- This behavior has persisted since several months
- One workaround is to deinstall the libreoffice ports and then execute
"portmaster editors/libreoffice-i18n"; without a current installation of
libreoffice this succeeds in the expected way
- Logfile attached (I let it run somewhat too long... :-))
