        Installing (and using) portupgrade is a good idea;
unfortunately, it will not stop you from getting bit by this problem
occasionally.
        My quick fix:

        pd /usr/ports/devel/glib20
        make deinstall
        make install
        <assuming in stall finished correctly> make distclean
        popd
        
        (Assumes *csh as the shell.)
