(I had already replied directly before I realised "Not Zed" had also
posted to the list, so for anyone who is interested here is my reply)

Thanks very much for the info. I had previously tried rpm --rebuilddb
without success and I had tried removing 1.1.90-0 with KPackage. Since
that didn't work because of duplicated rpmdb entries, I didn't bother to
try rpm from the command line.

rpm -e evolution-1.1.90 produced the following output:

var/tmp/rpm-tmp.51835: line 1:  2753 Segmentation fault
env PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
/opt/gnome/lib scrollkeeper-update >/dev/null 2>&1
execution of evolution-1.1.90-0.ximian.1 script failed, exit status 139

But I don't care, because IT WORKED!!!

Again, many thanks for your help.

Regards
Dave
