    You might try (forcibly) deleting the existing packages for glib-\* & gobject-introspection-\* -- e.g.

    pkg delete -f glib-\* gobject-introspection-\*

    then update ports as usual.

    This is what worked for me, but afterward, I found a few ports
    (gimp-app, gnumeric, json-glib libproxy, & libsoup3) had not picked
    up some of the thus-updated libraries -- discovered by running
    "pkg check -andqs", so I rebuilt those. Subsequent checks were clean.

    Peace,
