Because evolution doesn't need a newer library.  It probably just didn't
expect it to move.  It would be particularly wasteful if you needed to
get a whole new evolution package for no reason other than moved shared
libraries.  Thats what shared libraries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf
are for afterall.
