Absolute magic! ;-)  There is joy in Portsville.  Thanks very much
for that tip.  Just in case anyone is curious, this is the path I
followed:

I checked out the ports skeleton for ports/x11-toolkits/py-gtk2
(py23-gtk-2.3.92) using the instructions noted on the development
site and moved it into my local ports tree. Then, rebuilt the
INDEX/db:

	# cd /usr/ports && portsdb -uU

Since no ports that dependent on it had their versions bumped, I
forced the portupgrade of everything dependent on the py-gtk2:

	# portupgrade -fr py23-gtk-2.2.0_2

The gnome-btdownload started as expected with no errors and other
ports that were updated seem to be working fine also.  If there's
something else I need for this to do please let me know.

I went one step further and temporarily added an entry to my
/usr/sup/refuse file:

	ports/x11-toolkits/py-gtk2

so that cvsup would not download the version from the tree since I
update my ports nightly.  I'll have to keep watch on cvs-all@ to
know when to remove that entry.

It looks like either the gnome-btdownload update will need to be
backed out or py-gtk2 updated to the development version.  That
decision is totally up to the maintainers since I'm far from a
gnome/ports expert.  I'll follow whichever way the ports tree
goes.

Thanks again for the tip and all the hard work the FreeBSD-Gnome
team does in keeping everything in synch.  Its a big job!

Best regards,

Randy
