i got something that i don't understand:

===> Running portupgrade on glib-2\* and all dependent ports ...
===> Running /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -O  -m BATCH=yes   -r glib-2\*
** No such package 'glib-2\*' is installed.
===> Reinstalling gnomevfs2 ...

i tried to it with the real portname-version:

UPGRADE_TARGET=`/bin/ls -1d /var/db/pkg/glib-2* | /usr/bin/xargs 
/usr/bin/basename`

and the script now begins to upgrade.

maybe you have an better idea because if there are more glib-2* in 
/var/db/pkg
it doesn't work correctly.
