Hello, to avoid any issues uninstalling evolution, simply do not
uninstall 'evolution-data-server' or 'evolution-common' everything else
via 'dpkg -l evolution* | grep ^ii' can be removed, these packages are
not part of the evolution application at all, and e-d-s is a separate
daemon providing many things to the desktop, and needs evolution-common.
