Absolutely MarK, I have the evolution-pilot package installed.  I have all
the following.  The Red Carpet upgrade seemed to replace all the generic
pilot-link stuff with Ximian files.

pilot-link-devel-0.11.5-4.ximian.1
gnome-pilot-0.1.69-1.ximian.1
gnome-pilot-conduits-0.10-1.ximian.1
gnome-pilot-devel-0.1.69-1.ximian.1
pilot-link-0.11.5-4.ximian.1
evolution-pilot-1.2.0-1.ximian.1
