It has indeed disappeared as you can see from the buildd logs the latest
evolution was compiled without SSL support.

After some hunting it seems that this is caused by the
--with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss
configure flags being set. If those are set then instead of pkgconfig files,
the evolution configure does some manual magic to check for the needed ssl
bits.. And that fails hopelessly... While the pkgconfig method works just fine

So fixing this bug should be simply a matter of throwing out those configure
flags :)
