Hi Gang,
I just did a "yum -y update on fully patched FC5. Doing a standard

Nothing. No packages were found. OK...now what do I do?
Yup:

So, I guess evolution-data-server-1.6.1-1.fc5.2.i386 isn't advertising
it's provides properly? - So, wait till there's an update for it?
No, its provides are fine. The problem is that they are later versions
than those provided by the previous release, e.g.
libecal-1.2.so.6 instead of libecal-1.2.so.3
libedata-cal-1.2.so.5 instead of libedata-cal-1.2.so.1
All the packages that depend on these libraries (e.g. gnoem-panel,
evolution-connector, evolution-sharp) need to be rebuilt against the
updated evolution-data-server, which should not have been released until
that had happened.

Hi,
I had the same problems during the last "yum update". But I found a
workaround:
1. rpm --nodeps --justdb -e evolution-data-server
2. yum update (installed evolution-data-server again and updated my
system).
You might now have a broken system. Which versions, if any, of the
following packages do you have:
$ rpm -q evolution-data-server \
gnome-panel evolution-connector evolution-sharp
