Prevent upgrade from upgrading geoclue2

[Peter Brommer]

Hi,

I figured out what might have been the issue here. geoclue2 is not currently installed and so rdeps are not available (geoclue2 is only installed as a new dependency of gimp2 on gvfs). If I add “not gimp and not gimp2” to my command line, I can get other ports to upgrade.

So - workaround found.
