Something is sort of wrong here, but it is by design...

Pkgsrc has only one version of each package -- different versions are 
differentiated by changing the package name (e.g. foo-1.2.3, foo2-2.1.0).

But wip has a newer version of glib2 that is also called glib2... This 
makes sense for the wip package if you consider it to be work in 
progress for importing to pkgsrc as a replacement for that package.  It 
does not make sense for the bulk builder, as it is supposed to be able to 
rely on the numbering convension from pkgsrc...
