This is confirmation for the lists's sake. If you install libbonobo1
and bonobo from the evolution apt source above, evolution will
work. There wasn't really any way I could get around this, save making
evolution depend on the exact version of bonobo needed. That at least
gives errors if you don't have the correct package installed.

I have those bonobo packages installed and put on hold.
