Done. After almost close to 48 hs the upgrade finished. All
of the ports that were upgraded configured and built fine.

Now evolution continues to refuse to startup. Again I used
truss(1) to see what was happening and the output is here:
http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution/evolution.truss

I must confess that I don't know how to read this output,
I'm just guessing ...but at least to my unexperienced eye the
output doesn't look too much different to what I got before:
http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution/old/evolution.1.truss

Since I'm still intrigued by this (I want to test
evolution's PIM features and see if I can drop korganizer!)
I collected some information about my system that might be
useful to debug this. Any help is appreciated.

FreeBSD-4.10p4 cvsup is from 48 hours ago.

All the files listed below are available from 
http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution/

output collected while building evolution as part of the
glib-2\* upgrade => evolution.out.gz
output of 'ls -lR /usr/X11R6/lib/evolution' => evolution.libs.lslR
output of 'ldconfig -r' => ldconfig.out
output of 'ls /var/db/pkg' => pkg-18Nov2004.out
and my /etc/libmap.conf

Thanks in advance for any tip or suggestion. I'm beginning
to think that it's not just a matter of doing a portupgrade
-fa ... seems like something else needs to be fixed before
... but I don't know what.

Oh, and BTW, dasher now works fine.
