Subj: make gnome2 fails because evince has vulnerability

Dear freebsd-gnome team
    May I enquire of you about a problem when doing   make install   
in   /usr/ports/x11/gnome2   under PCBSD 1.4RC . It fails saying   
evince    has a vulnerability. I have followed the advice output by 
the 
make and used   kports   to    update the ports  ,  fetch a new index 
, 
and  update the ports-db . Upon re-issuing   make install   I get the 
same error.  Now I am unsure what to do.  Surely the   make install   
script should not refuse to continue building but merely issue a 
warning. There must be a way to prevent this blowup, but the whole   
ports   system is like a   empty cube in space   to a relatively new 
BSD person.

I can see that one way to avoid it would be to get a new   evince   , 
but   kports   says my copy is the latest.
The ports I am using is supplied on the PCBSD CD so I dont know when 
it dates from, and in any case I have updated the   ports tree   
with   
kports .
 
Perhaps there is a good document I should read.

This is my screen output at the second attempt.
