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.

I guess I wasn't clear.  The problem is that the upgrade was trying to do that, and it was failing.  And trying it explicitly also makes it fail:

But, if I just choose some other random port to force uninstall it works fine.  So, it seems that there is something wrong with just some database entry for gst-plugins-base.  And the problem has been in my database for at least a month.  But it is not causing any other problems, that I can see, other then just not being able to upgrade that one port.
