Description of problem:
I have been using evolution for a while, and upgrades from a version to another 
have always gone without problems, but this time a serious problem occured. When 
I start evolution, the configuration-tool asks for emailadress/ 
incoming/outcoming mail properties and so on, although this information was used 
by the previous release of evolution. When I'm almost finish with the 
configuration, the configuration tool crashes, so when I start evolution next 
time, it launches the configuration tool. It's stuck in a loop.

Here is the output:

$ evolution
file /home/oysteigy/evolution/vfolders.xml contains nothing to upgrade
xml file `/home/oysteigy/evolution/filters.xml' already upgraded

Additional info:

I have tried to make a /home/oysteigy/.gconfd/lock/ior file, but it didnt work 
either. I'm using apt-get with ftp.uninett.no as archive. Here is my 
/etc/apt/sources.list:
