>Description:
	After a recent pkgsrc update (owing to security issues),
	GIMP was deinstalled.  Trying to rebuild and reinstall it
	fails.  The error that I get is:

===> Overriding tools for gnome-vfs2-2.10.1

	Jeremy C. Reed confirms that he saw the same problem with ggv; see
	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2005/06/03/0002.html 
	for his tech-pkg report.

	I'm not sure how many packages this breaks, though it seems
	that some packages still build.

	Jeremy posted a workaround for the ggv package, but I'm not sure
	that it is a general workaround, so I am leaving this in the
	"critical" category.

	Effectively, this breaks the GIMP for me, since the GIMP indirectly
	requires gnome-vfs2.

>How-To-Repeat:
	On my system, try to build gnome-vfs2.  Or on Jeremy's, try to
	rebuild ggv (he just confirmed that the problem is still outstanding
	for him).

>Fix:
	Jeremy's post to tech-package at
	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2005/06/03/0002.html
	contains a workaround for his problem.  I haven't tried it,
	since it's not clear which of his steps are really part of the
	workaround (he lists several things that he tried, but doesn't
	say if he undid anything)

	He implies that rebuilding glibc may also fix the problem, but
	I'm loathe to try that as I am not sure how many packages I'd lose
	if I tried to do that and found *more* packages no longer build.
