Re: [Evolution] getting 1.4.X on RH 7.3, removing gnome breaks hpoj

[Mark Gordon <mtgordon ximian com>]

Updating to Evolution 1.4 on Red Hat Linux 7.3 without concurrently
updating to XD2 is not currently recommended.  It requires enough
changes to GNOME, for example, that unless one is running KDE to start
with, it's likely to break things.  This might get resolved at some
point, but for now, my advice is to either stick with Evolution 1.2.4,
or upgrade to XD2, or upgrade to Red Hat Linux 8.0 (for which the
Evolution-only install is much more feasible).

Red Carpet can take a lot of time trying to resolve especially
complicated dependency situations.  It could probably be more efficient,
but I suspect it just took that long to come up with an advised course
of action.
