The new version of evolution requires an updated version of libgal,
libgal-2.2. However, you already have installed an application called
balsa (another email client) that depends on your existing version of
libgal, libgal-2.0. The balsa package needs libgal-2.0 rather than
libgal-2.2. So there is no version of libgal that you can install that
will satisfy both evolution2 and balsa. Hence yum falls over.

The same thing is happening for libgtkhtml.

Simplest solution: since you're installing evolution2 you probably don't
need another email client like balsa. So rpm -e balsa and your problem
should disappear.
