Hello,

You must have "stable" sources in /etc/apt/sources.list so you are trying to install woody's version of evolution.

You could add:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

..where the server may vary slightly depending on the debian mirror you are using. Remember to update packet list by typing "apt-get update"

Please keep in mind that if you do that and then type:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

...you'll may be upgrading a lot of software. You may want to edit "/etc/apt/preferences" in order to upgrade only evolution, for instance.


In case you had the sources in the list and your problem is related to "/etc/apt/preferences", you could install evolution too using:

apt-get -t unstable install evolution


Good luck!
