Saw this, when I used pkg_rolling-replace to upgrade from one quaterly
pkgsrc release to the next. In most (all?) cases I got this error,
when the package was rebuild, that contained the shared library
mentioned in the error message. Removing the old package ("pkg_delete
-f glib2" in this case) and restaring the pkg_rolling-replace worked
for me. Had to repeat this several times for different packages.
