Running FBSD 6.3 and after updating the ports where icu was one of the
ports to be updated I'm getting the libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object
"libicui18n.so.36" not found, required by "evolution" error, I can see
that the new version of icu installed "libicui18n.so.38". Is there a
better way to fix this or should I just symlink "libicui18n.so.38" to
"libicui18n.so.36"?
Nope. Symlinking shlibs of different ABI versions together is the
wrong answer. There's a reason the ABI version number was bumped,
and it indicates the new shlib is not compatible with the old one.
Formally, the correct fix is:
# portupgrade -rf icu-\*
or the equivalent in whatever ports management software you prefer.
However this is pretty unfortunate as icu is a basic component that
a large number of packages depend upon. Expect to spend a long time
compiling.
The port sysutils/bsdadminscripts installs a script called pkg_libchk that
will list you all ports that /really/ need to be rebuild. Many of the ports
depending on icu-\* do so indirectly by linking to a library that links to
icu, thus it is sufficent to rebuild those directly linking ports.
pkg_libchk checks for such direct dependencies and will list you the
affected ports. _______________________________________________

I just tried that but unfortunately pkg_libchk didn't work. It didn't pick up
any application when I have a bunch failling to start because of this
library.
portmanager -s piped to a file might tell you what's missing
