pkgsrc-2008Q4-base package builds looping?

[Malcolm Herbert <mjch%mjch.net@localhost>]

I've got a slightly old version of the pkgsrc tree and for some reason
package builds will now fall into a loop and won't progress.  For
example:

... and so on. p5-DateTime-Format-ICal doesn't depend on itself, as
far as I know, yet I see this behaviour even if I try to build other
packages, completely independent of this one.

Can anyone shed light on this? I'd prefer to fix the issue with the
version of the pkgsrc tree that I have rather than upgrade it as I'd
like to keep my packages more-or-less consistent ...

My /etc/mk.conf looks like the following:

|.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK       # begin pkgsrc settings
|
|PKG_DBDIR=              /var/db/pkg
|LOCALBASE=              /usr/pkg
|VARBASE=                /var
|PKG_TOOLS_BIN=          /usr/pkg/sbin
|PKGMANDIR=              man
|
|TOOLS_PLATFORM.pax?=            /bin/pax
|TOOLS_PLATFORM.tar?=            /usr/bin/tar
|
|CLEANDEPENDS=NO
|DEINSTALLDEPENDS=NO
|REINSTALL=YES
|OBJMACHINE=yes
|FETCHDEPENDS=YES
|ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=no
|SPECIFIC_PKGS=yes
|FAILOVER_FETCH=yes
|
|PKGSRCDIR=/usr/pkgsrc
|WRKDIR=/usr/pkgbuild/${HOST}-${OSNAME}-${OSREL}-${ARCH}-${CLASS}-${PKGREV}
|WRKOBJDIR=${WRKDIR}
|DISTDIR=/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles
|PACKAGES=/usr/pkgsrc/packages/${HOST}-${OSNAME}-${OSREL}-${ARCH}-${CLASS}-${PKGREV}
|BINPKG_SITES=
|
|USE_BULK_TIMESTAMPS=no
|DEPENDS_TARGET=bin-install
|
|# site-specific package config  
|
|ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=fee-based-commercial-use
|ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=lame-license
:
:
|ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=unrar-license
|ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=vim-license
|
|SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS+=archivers/bunzip
|SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS+=archivers/bzip2
:
:
|SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS+=www/w3m
|SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS+=x11/rxvt
|
|.endif                  # end pkgsrc settings

Commenting out USE_BULK_TIMESTAMPS and DEPENDS_TARGET don't seem to have
an impact on the looping issue, pkgsrc just doesn't try to install from
an already-built package ...

This pkgsrc environment is in a chroot jail, however it has all the
OS tarballs extracted and I have confirmed that it can download files
from the network as can be seen above ... driving me nuts ... :)

Malcolm
