I just upgraded evolution, etc. by hand and sure enough got a broken
system.  The problem is that evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1 (the
latest) provides /usr/lib64/libecal-1.2.so.6, while evolution requires
libecal-1.2.so.3, which has been removed in the process of upgrading
evolution-data-server.

A temporary fix is to go to /usr/lib (in my case /usr/lib64) and to
perform the simlink:
        $ ln -s libecal-1.2.so.6.0.0 libecal-1.2.so.3
        
I'm still getting some errors (see below) but evolution has been usable
so far.
