I ran into this also.  I think there is some problem building that
package when an older version is already installed.

The way I worked around it was
 pkg_delete -f gobject-introspection
 bmake install
 pkg_admin rebuild-tree
 ...
and restart the rolling-replace.

I can vaguely remember this being a problem that has been around since
last pkgsrc quarter or longer.  It really needs a proper fix, imho.

Thanks
