I had the same problem just a few minutes ago. On my machine the
issue was a leftover /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.3800.0. The
update installed libgobject-2.0.so.4000.0, but that was not picked
up by programs using it. Since they were linked against the new
version and loaded the old at runtime, *BAM*.
Removing the old file fixes the problem. Note that you might have
to rebuild ports that linked against that file.
