thanks for the tip... didn't thought of it, I was seeking for existing 
broken libraries, while the broken library was gtk3 itself.

I too did pkg_delete -f gtk3+, then manually make_replace fails, because 
it is not installed. I used make_install and then:


sudo pkg_admin set automatic=YES gtk3+-3.24.41nb2


I suppose that should be equivalent to make_replace of a dependency package.

Now... let's restart pkg_rr and see where it goes!
