You are confusing 3 things:

a) %dir %{_libdir}/evolution
b) %{_libdir}/evolution
c) %{_libdir}/evolution/*

a) refers to only the dir, and only that, without any files or dirs in it.
b) refers to the dir with all files and dirs in it.
c) refers to all the files and dirs in the dir.

I think what you want is b). a) should NOT be used unless you have a VERY
good reason.
