>Description:
	Using pkgsrc HEAD (current as of an hour or two ago), some
	packages were missing dependencies.  This cause Gnome not to build.
	I had to manually build x11/py-gnome2-extras in order to get
	misc/deskbar-applet to build.  I had to manually build py-gtk2
	to make x11/py-gnome2 build.
>How-To-Repeat:
	See above
>Fix:
	Build manually

 I've investigated some more.  The reason for the failure is that 
 deskbar-applet package directly and indirectly depends on two different 
 versions of py-gtk2, namely py23-gtk2 and py24-gtk2.  The problem is 
 that they are built from the same x11/py-gtk2 directory, so if, e.g. 
 py23-gtk2 is installed and the work directory is not removed, than any 
 subsequent build in x11/py-gtk2 will automatically return as a success 
 because of the presence of the "install cookie" from the previous 
 installation.

 I think you could get a successful build by removing the work directory 
 for x11/py-gtk2 manually.  Longer term, I think it would be best if you 
 directly set PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT to "24" in /etc/mk.conf to force 
 python-2.4.x to be installed to satisfy Python dependencies. 
 Unfortunately, you would need to "pkg_delete -r python23" to remove the 
 old Python and all packages that depended on it would have to be rebuilt.

 I really don't have a good solution to this problem.

 In fact, I want to have only Python 2.4; I'll happily do that.  It worked,
 so I have no immediate problems.

 I wonder if there's some solution involing package options, perhaps
 specifying the version of python to use if there's no default set.
