## I actually have installed 1.4.5 from source, so apt doesn't know
about it ;-)

If I understand that right, "apt-get install evolution" would install
your version.

============================
1) doing 
"apt-get install evolution" 
yields:
============================

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  evolution: Depends: libcomerr1-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but it is
not going to be installed
             Depends: libroken9-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages


================================================================
2) doing 
"apt-get install evolution libcomerr1-heimdal libroken9-heimdal" yields:
================================================================

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  evolution: Depends: libasn1-5-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but it is
not going to be installed
             Depends: libcomerr1-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but
0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
             Depends: libgssapi1-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but it is
not going to be installed
             Depends: libkrb5-17-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but it is
not going to be installed
             Depends: libroken9-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) but
0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages


Here we have at least two problems: From the sources I have in my list,
only versions .1 of libcomerr1-heimdal and libroken9-heimdal can be
found, no .8 version, see below:

"apt-cache policy libcomerr1-heimdal" gives

libcomerr1-heimdal:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.4e-7.woody.1
  Version Table:
     0.4e-7.woody.1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/non-US/main Packages

"apt-cache policy libroken9-heimdal" gives

libroken9-heimdal:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.4e-7.woody.1
  Version Table:
     0.4e-7.woody.1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/non-US/main Packages

Apparently, the official woody archives do not contain a .8 version.
Maybe all I have to do is to add a deb line for "security-related
updates" ? But I didn't find any such with google. So maybe its only
kind of RTFM-Problem I have with your package.

Okay, let's go on. He wants a lot of stuff in addition to libcomerr1 and
libroken9? So I tell him to get all he suggested: 

===============================================================
3) doing
"apt-get install evolution libcomerr1-heimdal libroken9-heimdal
libasn1-5-heimdal libgssapi1-heimdal libkrb5-17-heimdal"
should satisfy him, but I only get:
===============================================================

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
evolution: Depends: libcomerr1-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) 
                    but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
           Depends: libroken9-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) 
                    but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
libasn1-5-heimdal: Depends: libcomerr1-kerberos4kth 
                   (>= 1.1-11-8.woody0) 
                   but it is not going to be installed
libgssapi1-heimdal: Depends: libasn1-6-heimdal (>= 0.5.2-5) 
                    but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libroken16-kerberos4kth 
                    (>= 1.2.2-0.woody.3.0) 
                    but it is not going to be installed
libkrb5-17-heimdal: Depends: libasn1-6-heimdal (>= 0.5.2-5) 
                    but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libcomerr1-kerberos4kth 
                    (>= 1.2.2-0.woody.3.0) 
                    but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libroken16-kerberos4kth 
                    (>= 1.2.2-0.woody.3.0) 
                    but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages


Okay, so he wants even more.

===============================================================
4) doing 
"apt-get install evolution libcomerr1-heimdal libroken9-heimdal
libasn1-5-heimdal libgssapi1-heimdal libkrb5-17-heimdal
libcomerr1-kerberos4kth libasn1-6-heimdal libroken16-kerberos4kth"

finally shows the conflict we have:
==================================================================

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
evolution: Depends: libcomerr1-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) 
           but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
           Depends: libroken9-heimdal (>= 0.4e-7.woody.8) 
           but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
libcomerr1-kerberos4kth: Conflicts: libcomerr1-heimdal 
                         but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
libroken16-kerberos4kth: Conflicts: libroken9-heimdal 
                         but 0.4e-7.woody.1 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages



So, this is it. Maybe all is fine if I had an entry in my sources.list
from which apt can get those two .8 Version. But I don't think so. I
managed to find them from packages.debian.org and installed them via
dpkg. Afterwards, .8 versions were available, but apt still didn't want
to install your evo package. If you could supply me with proper entries
for sources.list, maybe I get it to work or can narrow the problem down
further. 

Regards
Lars
