Riccardo, Wolfgang,
thanks for having a look. I think that for the packages, everything is not ok, but explainable.
Before the upgrade, the system was still with the previous version of gnustep.
I don't know what went wrong during the upgrade, but after upgrading, wheb I tested with 5 packages that I 'frequently' use, ProjectCenter, Gorm, GNUMail, SimpleAgenda GWorkspace
I found the following result:
gorm, gorkspace packages worked immediatly after the update (). With pkg info, I get:
libobjc.so.4.6
simpleagenda, projectcenter and gnumail gave an error
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgnustep-gui.so.0.27" not found, required by "GNUMail"
I could install SimpleAgenda with pkg install, and that one is also OK
Shared Libs required:
libgnustep-base.so.1.27
libgnustep-gui.so.0.28
libuuid.so.1
libical.so.3pkg: No package(s) matching gnumail
libobjc.so.4.6
ProjctCenter and GNUMail seem to have disappeared as package, so no pkg info there. As it is the old application
I have the current versions of libgnuste-gui and libgnustep-base in /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries, and the packages can be reinstalled if necessary. I don't know why some packages disappeared.
But then, I get a linker error while bulding from the ports, and I get that for all applications, also Gorm / GWorkspace, where the package installs ok.
As Wolfgang indicated this could be due to a wrong version of tlibgnustep-gui.
When I ran nm -D libgnustep-gui.so, I did not find any of the undefined references, but I must admit that here, I'm argely out of my comfort zone, so it could be a normal situation.

What makes it worse is that Eclipse and Java survived the upgrade 🙁
Could it be a problem with -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.8 in the link-statement. Shouldn't that have been 2.0 by now?

Hi Edwin,
a foreword, the 12.1 -> 12.2 upgrade on FreeBSD was a painful for me.
Although a minor release, it broke compatibility with many packages,
especially with C++. I don't know what they changed, but they did
upgrade "too much" for a minor release in my opinion.
Right now things have stabilized in ports, but e.g I still am unable to
compile SeaMonkey, or ArcticFox compiles but does not install or
crashes, while it does work on 12.1.

This means gui is not found in the correct version for GNUMail. Does
this happen with all apps?
please check with "pkg info" if gnustep packages are installed and which
base, gui, back do you have.
Also, try to locate libgnustep-gui on disk.
Maybe during upgrade gui was uninstalled and/or not upgraded?
Or instead, for some reason GNUMail was just not updated on your system,
try removing it and reinstalling it!
Another thing could be that you now have gui 0.28, but the applications
still look for the old version, perhaps they packages were not correctly
rebuilt with a gui release. 0.27 is old, from 2019, while 2020 release
was 0.28
