    en/gnome             gnome_upgrade.sh 
  Log:
  There have been a number of upgrade failure reports, and most of them seem
  to stem from external dependencies not getting updated. (Here, external
  dependencies are ports which do NOT depend upon glib20.) I'm suspecting that
  the cause of this is inconsistent package databases. Inconsistent pkgdbs will
  cause portupgrade(1) to silently fail, but portinstall and pkg_delete will
  still work just fine. (I really wish gnu had agreed to make pkgdb(1) return
  meaningful error codes -- or any error codes at all!)
  
  So, instead of running pkgdb -F, we're now running pkgdb -fu. This will
  hopefully rebuild the entire database from scratch, and leave us with a
  consistent database every time. And just in case, we follow it with a
  pkgdb -F for good measure.
  
  Additionally, I've changed the script's version number to be a bit more
  legible, and thus a bit more meaningful.
  
  Also, there is now a -v option which prints some basic version/revision
  information.
  
  I'd like to thank Alexandre Vasconcelos's horribly inconsistent package
  database for inspiring the pkgdb change ;;)
