ports/147669: science/gramps fails to start

[Bob Melson]

This is what I see when I try to import a gedcom file
into gramps.  The process followed is:

1) create a new family tree by clicking on
Famly Trees -> Manage Family Trees and selecting "New"
from the options on the right of the screen, then selecting
"Load Family Tree" when it has been created.
2) Family Trees -> Import, then selecting a gedcom file to
attempt to import.

Error is as below.

I had already rebuilt py-bsdbb to 4.3 as part of my flailing
at the problem.  Existing databases/family trees do not reliably
or consistently load.  I can't presently provide an error message,
but will do so the next time the error occurs.
