Starting today my portupgrade fails on linux-glib2 port. It looks like the port needs to be removed in favor of linux_base-fc4, but some ports still depend on it (linux-atk-1.9.1, linux-gtk2-2.6.10, linux-pango-1.10.2 etc.).

What is the right way to remove the obsolete linux-glib2 so that the dependencies are not broken? 'pkgdb -F' offers me to unregister the package, but I'm not sure if it's the best solution.

The system is 7.0-RELEASE.

you can read in /usr/ports/UPDATING about it, and it will tell you what to do.
Anyway you should deinstall devel/linux-glib2 and then deinstall/reinstall emulation/linux_base-f4.
