While living my sorry life, I read problem report:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/21274. I don't have a
problem building evolution as in the report, but I do have both
libxml-1.8.16 and libxml2-2.4.12 on my Release 4.4 system. As I said, no
apparent problems compiling anything.

libxml-1.8.16 is required by evolution-1.0.1, epplets-0.5_1, and just
about everything having anything to do with Gnome. libxml2-2.4.12 is
required (on my system) by ImageMagick-5.4.1.2, apsfilter-7.2.1,
libwmf-0.2.2, but also by epplets-0.5_1.

Is this still a problem, one lurking as yet unnoticed? I noted the
report date as Sept. 14, 2000.

If so, can I instead of "Save off any data you want, rm -rf
/var/db/pkg/*, /usr/local/*, /usr/X11R6/*, cvsup up to 4.*-STABLE, build
and install a new world, then start rebuilding your ports",  just
deinstall the programs required by libxml2-2.4.12 and if necessary
rebuild all the Gnome stuff with portupgrade -f -r <gnome stuff>?

Thanks for any advice!
