The glib port installs /usr/local/bin/glib-mkenums, which is a
perl script that depends upon /usr/bin/perl5.
The problem is that 'make upgrade' deletes /usr/bin/perl5, so
any perl script depending on /usr/bin/perl5 will fail.
Could 'make upgrade' include a warning about perl5 instead of
deleting it, perhaps?


No script should depend on /usr/bin/perl5. That's just wrong.
Check why the port does include such a setting, it should just
use /usr/bin/perl, if it really has to.

Cant we just add a symlink check like we did with /usr/bin/perl ?
