You've managed to get it installed because you don't currently have anything installed that depends on the old version of evolution-data-server. Try this: # rpm -Uvh --oldpackage http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/evolution-data-server-1.6.1-1.fc5.2.i386.rpm # yum install gnome-panel If that works, you'll then be in the same boat as the rest of us... > [root@localhost btth]# > > > >> And why does evolution get in on it, anyway?

Not in this case. The evolution-data-server package contains some of the evolution libraries also used by packages other than evolution; splitting it out like this enables the other packages to be installed without having to install evolution itself.
