It is.

It might be, I didn't claim anything else.

The packages provided by the official Arch repositories are build
against the  dependencies from the official Arch repositories. Those new
versions of evolution do not fail regarding a soname issue. After
_downgrading_ Evolution to the last version of evolution, the old
version fails regarding a soname issue, hence I provide the required old
libs, too.

It wasn't hijacked, I only wanted to inform the OP, so that the OP could
pass the information to the OP's wife. If I would have started a new
thread, the OP might have ignored it, so marking it as [off-topic] was
the right way to do it. Alternatively I could have sent it off-list, but
the information might be from interest for other subscribers, too.
