Description of problem: Unable to update evolution or evolution-data-server due to incorrect dependency chain in evolution-data-server Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.6.2-1.fc5.1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: yum update to latest evolution update version as announced.

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.
Looks like a duplicate of bug 194174; I don't have perms to mark it as such.
