In reply to your other query:
I wouldn't goto experimental. That is not what you are looking for. I'd
go with SID/Unstable.

All that means is that the Packaging of things is very volatile, and
once in a while break but not anything worth fretting over.

One you do that you should see it.

evolution - The groupware suite
evolution-data-server - evolution database backend server
evolution-exchange - Exchange plugin for the Evolution groupware suite
evolution-webcal - webcal: URL handler for GNOME and Evolution

Here:

Even though you want these experimental packages you want to use SID
with specifying the versions in experimental.

My sources.list if available here:
http://www.gregfolkert.net/files/sources.list

Read the header information.

I suggest you select unstable and uncomment the unstable lines, and make
them for your country of origin. But also uncomment the experimental
lines.

Create an /etc/apt/apt.conf with the following lines in it:

APT::Default-Release "unstable";
APT::Cache-Limit 20000000;


Then do: (dselect|apt-get|aptitude) update

Next: (apt-get|aptitude) -u dist-upgrade

Then once all that is done:

apt-get evolution/experimental evolution-exchange/experimental

errors saying need this but that is installed, add those packages with
the "/experimental" on the end until it installs successfully.

Understand, I *AM* assuming your understand the implications of using
SID with Experimental packages... so I'll leave it to you to make sure
your actions are your own.

BTW, there *IS* no need to copy me. I read the mail list.
