You have 15 packages that appear to be problematic, which leaves you
with two realistic options:
1. Spend ages tracing each dep down and seeing what gives, or
2. Just run emerge --depclean followed by revdep-rebuild and emerge -uND
world anyway. Sure, it will take some extra compile time, but it will
also filter out the packages that you actually don't have to worry
about.
I'd recommend #2, which will hopefully leave us with a much smaller list
of packages to investigate.

Hi Alan,
OK, I preceded to let emerge --depclean do it's job and then ran
revdep-rebuild. It said only samba needed to be rebuilt. When that was
complete everything seems clean and happy. No more deps to clean out,
emerge -DuN world has no work to do and revdep-rebuiild says
everything is cool.
Thanks to you and Bo for your help so far.
Now on to solving why Evolution is crashing. Hopefully I can get a
good backtrace.
Thanks,
Mark
