I had the same problem installing evolution from the FC1 distro ISOs. 
I've got evolution-1.4.5-7 and e2fsprogs-1.34-1 provides 
/lib/libcom_err.so.2.1 linked to /lib/libcom_err.so.2; so I simply 
linked it to /lib/libcom_err.so.3 and did a rpm -i evolution* --nodeps 
install.. worked fine.

$ rpm -qi evolution
