Expected results: dependency should be correctly resolved.  Packages should be
updated without issues.


Additional info: The supposedly missing library is in fact already installed,
but is not correctly identified.
# locate libecal-1.2.so.3
/usr/lib/libecal-1.2.so.3
/usr/lib/libecal-1.2.so.3.2.8

Basic evolution CAN be updated in spite of this messup by running
yum update --exclude evolution-data-server --exclude evolution-data-server-devel
but this is highly arcane and leaves evolution-data-server in an unknown update
correctness state.  I would expect most admins to get this wrong.
