I think you are not using the rpm query correctly. Look at the yum
dependencies:
# yum install beagle
Dependencies Resolved

Package Arch Version Repository Size

Installing:
beagle i386 0.2.6-1.fc5.1 updates 1.3 M
Installing for dependencies:
evolution i386 2.6.2-1.fc5.5 updates 12 M
evolution-sharp i386 0.10.2-9.3 updates 146 k
spamassassin i386 3.1.3-1.fc5 updates 891 k
Why in the shell should I have to have evolution and evolution-sharp
which depend on beagle in order to have beagle itself?
But evolution was not my original complaint. My complaint was that
the clock can't be used unless you also install evolution-data-server.
I just wanted a clock. In reality, You can't install FC5 with gnome
unless you install evolution-data-server.
# rpm -e evolution-data-server

Well, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, I guess Fedora is like
democracy. Its the worst Linux distribution there is, except for the
alternatives.

Which ones specifically?
$ rpm -q --whatrequires evolution
no package requires evolution

$ rpm -q --requires beagle|grep evo
mono(evolution-sharp) = 2.0.0.0
$ rpm -q --requires evolution-sharp|grep evo
evolution-data-server
$ rpm -q --requires evolution-data-server|grep evo
"Nonexistent requirement" indeed.
