        Hi,
I guess it's not related to the migration process, thus kind of
off-topic for this thread.

Right, these questions come semi-regularly on this list, mostly from
Ubuntu users, and the answer is mostly the same: ask Ubuntu maintainers
and/or on Ubuntu forums (this applies generally for distro-specific
questions, not only for Ubuntu). There had been also answers about some
gnome3-staging ppa or what it was, I do not recall, I do not use
Ubuntu.

Feel free to read these two Wiki pages:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Building
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Flatpak

The first describes why the dependency on evolution-data-server is so
tricky that "getting new Evolution" means much more than "getting only
new Evolution". The second makes things easier, but has its downsides
too (also described there).
        Bye,
