Re: [Evolution] 2 failed attempts to install 1.4 (What to Do?)

[Mark Gordon <mtgordon ximian com>]

usr-local-bin.org packages its files a bit differently than either
Ximian or SuSE, and this has the potential to cause problems when
upgrading.  Try removing the gal2 package.  It may well be that other
packages depend on it.  If it's just Evolution and related packages, it
shouldn't be a problem to remove them as well in order to fix the
upgrade path.  If too many things depend on it, it might be best for us
to provide a fix on our end.  I've filed a bug describing my proposed
packaging fix to this problem:
