Interesting data point.

I should have said as 2A: when you find a directory with broken
contents, just rm -rf it, and that will get rid of the record of
installation without removing the files.  Then "pkg_add glib2" and
perhaps "pkg_admin set automatic=yes glib2" if you want it that way, and
then rerun check and rebuild-tree

That can work too, but either way all the cross-package data linkage may
not be quite rie
