Ensure you do not have any previous built packages around in the
	pkgsrc source tree, then run 'make ; make update' in the appropriate
	directories for each package.

	'make update' rebuilds all the dependencies, this has a number of
	issues:

	    a) It can take a very long time...

	    b) While its updating a package any package which depends on
	       that package will have been removed from the system. Be
	       very wary about updating a library on which your window
	       manager or similar depends.

	    c) If the update breaks, it can leave you without the
	       aforementioned packages.

	    d) If you pick a suboptimal order you can end up rebuilding
	       much of your system several times. Pick the package on
	       which most other packages depend first.

	    e) Sometimes there is no optimal order - eg, half your system
	       depends on pkg 'a' and pkg 'b', but they do not depend on
	       each other. So you end up rebuilding everything twice. Of
	       course if they both depend on pkg 'c' which is up to date
	       you can run 'make update' on pkg 'c' which would be quicker..

	So.. I'd update libtool-base, then glib, then run lintpkgsrc -i
	again :)
