RecursiveDependencyError

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

Stuck on this problem. It is not happening for all ports, but for 
several pear ports. I tried a 'pkgdb -fF' and it reported no errors, 
what else can I do to find the cause of this when trying to install the 
pear-Mail and others on this FreeBSD 8.1 server. This is a new 
install...thanks for any help!
