Bug 224984: devel/py-gobject: Registering installation for
py27-gobject-2.28.6_7:	*** Error code 70

--- Description ---
On CURRENT (FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #36 r327682: Sun Jan  7 23:02:53 CET 2018
amd64), port devel/py-gobject is reluctant to updates or reinstallations. The
command sequence 

portmaster -d devel/py-gobject 

or 

/usr/ports: env FLAVOR=py27 make -C devel/py-gobject clean reinstall 

ends up in
[...]
Registering installation for py27-gobject-2.28.6_7
*** Error code 70

devel/py-gobject is a "pars pro totum" since this problem occurs on several
python based ports I have to deal with.

Since the "FLAVOR" change corrupted living ports trees in a very annoying way,
I had to delete all installed py27- ports and reinstalled them, using
portmaster (!) and let the system dealing with the correct settings. Obviously,
that didn't work as I can see.

Deleting 

devel/py-gobject 

and trying to reinstall the port works - but then every attempt to reinstall
the port, either via mek or portmaster, fails with this error 70 again.
Something is more than fishy here!
