 IIRC, pkg_rolling-replace does not deinstall the packages that use a
 package foo while it's updating foo, nor foo itself. So perhaps it's
 related to that?
 
 On a system where you're seeing this, can you do "pkg_delete -r
 gobject-introspection" before rebuilding it? (This will recursively
 delete all packages that use gobject-introspection, so make sure you
 know what those are so you can reinstall them later.)
