>Description:
	Recently went to upgrade my PHP installation.  This apparently
	had more far-reaching consequences than initially foreseen; as
	it caused an update of postgres as well.

	Doing the "make update" of www/php4 caused the following make
	loop to occur:

=> Checksum OK for php-4.2.3.tar.gz.
===> Extracting for php-pgsql-4.2.3nb1
===> Required installed package php>=4.2.3: php-4.2.3nb2 found
===> Required package postgresql-lib>=7.3.1: NOT found
===> Verifying update for ../../databases/postgresql-lib
===> Resuming update for postgresql-lib-7.3.2
===> Installing in databases/php4-pgsql
=> Checksum OK for php-4.2.3.tar.gz.
===> Extracting for php-pgsql-4.2.3nb1
===> Required installed package php>=4.2.3: php-4.2.3nb2 found
===> Required package postgresql-lib>=7.3.1: NOT found
===> Verifying update for ../../databases/postgresql-lib
===> Resuming update for postgresql-lib-7.3.2
===> Installing in databases/php4-pgsql

	etc. ad nauseum.

>How-To-Repeat:
	With the above set of packages installed, try to use "make
	update".

>Fix:
	Don't quite know how to do that; sorry.
	Performing manual intervention for now.
