I never used pkgsrc on any OS other than NetBSD, but I had a circular-dependency problem on cwrappers.

All packages, including pkgtools/cwrappers itself, seem to depend on cwrappers.

I finally got around this bug by setting in /etc/mk.conf

USE_CWRAPPERS = no

Then I built cwrappers, and subsequently reenabled cwrappers by deleting the line 
USE_CWRAPPERS = no 

This was on NetBSD-8.99.1 amd64 .
