Good morning - regarding the discussion below about an unmeetable 
dependency in evolution-mapi, if I can be of help in resolving I'd be 
happy to try. I'm not a programmer but am a fairly competent system 
administrator and have the necessary tools.

I mailed developers some time back:

-----
To: pkg-evolution-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
...

I just noticed that under unstable, evolution-mapi version is
0.28.3-2, but it depends on evolution < 2.29.0, while current
evolution in unstable is 2.30.2-1.

It might be left in such state in purpose, or it might be the package
requires refresh for current evolution package (it sounds more like
it)...

I'm not sure if this is something you'd like to have a bug against, or
if it's something you're aware of already, and you don't need to be
bugged because of it...

And I got the answer:

...
At least, that's something we would need people for. Like exchange, I
have no setup, no knowledge nor any interest in it. So if you're
interested in it, you might have to give some time.

So, I think more time is needed, and help can be offered to the
developers...  :-)
