The problem is that Debian has uploaded bonobo 0.26, but Evolution
currently still requires 0.23.  This is an evolution problem across the
board, and there were (possibly) plans a while back for an interim
release that fixes this dependency.  I'm not sure though ....  If you
aren't using nautilus, you can probably just grab the bonobo debs
manually, force their installation and then apt-get install evolution
should work like a charm.
