I have done many upgrades during that time period.  So, it seems that there is something wrong in the sqlite database that just relates to gst-plugins-base.  And that it has been there for a while.

I would think that all I really want to do is to delete the appropriate entries from the database and to do a corresponding forced uninstall of gst-plugins-base.  But, I am not sure how to get that to work.

I'm not sure what's going on... if you want to try forcibly uninstalling gst-plugins-base the way to do so would be:

sudo port -f uninstall gst-plugins-base
