** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade.32262.0 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade UPGRADE_PORT=gnome-applets-2.20.0 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=2.20.0 make reinstall

Solution:

pkg_delete -f gnome-applet\*

portupgrade -f libgweather

portinstall gnome-applet

Reason:

libgweather was extracted from gnome-applet as a separate package somewhere between gnome 2.20 and 2.22.

portupgrade upgrades dependent ports first. So when upgrading gnome from 2.20 to 2.22, it installs libgweather first, then upgrade gnome-applet. In the process of upgrading gnome-applet by deinstalling and reinstalling it, the new libgweather header files, which were originally part of gnome-applet, will be mistakenly removed. as a result when reinstall new version of gnome-applet, it fails to find the header files spawned into libgweather.

In fact these steps were documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING, just I forgot to read it again when upgrading ports of an amd64 installation. <faint>

  AFFECTS: All GNOME users and ports depend on gnomehier
  AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org

  GNOME has been updated to 2.22.0.  You have to deinstall a few ports first
  before using portupgrade or portmaster in order to successfully upgrade
  your GNOME installation.

  Portupgrade users:
    # pkgdb -Ff
    # pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\*
    # portupgrade -aOW

  Portmaster users:
    # pkg_delete -f gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\* \
       gnome-keyring-manager\*
    # portmaster -a
