This is incorrect. Bonobo, oaf, and gconf are all with the Evolution
packages.

Those packages should be pulled in by the update, which appears to be
happening correctly.

The problem is that the bonobo, oaf, and gconf packages don't provide
their libraries in the correct manner for rpm to be able to use them
in file-based dependencies.

libbonobo-print.so.2- is needed by evolution-0.8-0_helix_4
libbonobo.so.2- is needed by evolution-0.8-0_helix_4
libbonobox.so.2- is needed by evolution-0.8-0_helix_4
libgconf-1.so.1- is needed by evolution-0.8.0_helix_4
libgconf-gtk-1.so.1- is needed by evolution-0.8-0_helix_4

These lines say that the evolution package needs packages that provide
the libbonobo-print.so.2, libbonobo.so.2, etc files. RPM designates
file-based dependencies with the dash at the end of the filename.

This is a known problem and has been fixed on most of the platforms we
have packages for. New RH7 packages are on the way.
