Ah, yes, I see.  Watch carefully, nothing up my sleeve.

$ rpm -q --whatrequires `rpm -q --provides evolution`
...
evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.3
...

And that (apparently ibeshell.so.0) is the only reason you need evo. 
Maybe libeshell.so.0 should be in evo-data-server instead.  You could try 
filing a bug.

That's not totally unreasonable.  evo-data-server is a common backend for 
a lot of things--sort of the dbus of gnome.

$ rpm -q --whatrequires `rpm -q --provides evolution-data-server`
evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1
evolution-2.6.2-1.fc5.5
nautilus-sendto-0.4-7.2
ekiga-2.0.1-1
gaim-1.5.0-16.fc5
control-center-2.14.2-1
gnome-panel-2.14.2-1.fc5.1
evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.3
evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.4
