You still have evolution 2-10-3, which solves the dependency-problems
mentioned by aptitude, except the dependency problems for webcal.
Accepting the offer (remove webcal, keep evolutions) seems the sane
thing to do to me. I get the message you got earlier too when doing a
dist-upgrade. Accepting the "keep everything the same for now" works for me.
