While upgrading to the latest snapshot, i get a few messages like these:

Can't install atk-1.10.3p0: lib not found glib-2.0.600.4
Even by looking in the dependency tree:
expat-1.95.6, libiconv-1.9.2p1, glib2-2.8.3, gettext-0.14.5
The atk you are updating was built against glib-2.0.600.4 and is not
seeing the glib-2.0.800.3 lib that the new package has (presumably) due to
the major lib bump.
devel/atk will need to be rebuilt.
This makes sense, but it leads to a question for me for the port masters:
In this case, atk will work with the newer lib version, so is there a way
to mark the port to allow this?
Or did I just screw up atk? :).
I am not fully skilled in port/package handling, but If my assumption above
is correct, what is the proper procedure in these cases? Should I notify the
maintainer of glib2
Protocol is to notify the maintainer, wait a suitable amount of time and
then come here.
