Trying to get glib updated to run AbiWord-2.0

[nathan_p_maier at comcast.net]

     One of the major tasks of my computer is writing everything about what I do on a word processor. I need AbiWOrd to work,  I have tried upgrading the dependencies with portupgrade but I can't get glib to update.  Here's the message from portupgrade.
     I've tried pkg_add -f XXXX and that doesn't work.  I stil get all the so,200s instead of so.400s.
     Thanks,
Nathan
