Same here, so I removed Evolution and Libcamel alltogether. This is what I get now:

thom@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install evolution

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  evolution: Depends: libcamel1.2-3 (>= 1.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: evolution-data-server (>= 1.2.1) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Broken packages

exact same problem here, unfortuatley since I was doing a dist-upgrade and
didn't read the fine print, it uninstalled evolution. I am now giving
firefox-thunderbird a spin ;)

Hopefully it is just some snafu in the dependency tree.

Looks like evolution-data-server in main needs to be rebuilt to get correct
dependencies on the binaries. Furthermore, evolution-data-server1.2 in universe
should probably be dropped, since evolution-data-server in main is a merge of
1.2 from experimental.

This appears to be because libecal* currently depends the Universe version of
libcamel1.2-0, whereas the rest of Evolution (in main) is depending on the
Ubuntu version.

Surely this is someone bad to have something in main depend something in
universe? Even if it is kinda early :)

This is most likely caused by the import of debian packages into breezy. This
sort of thing is expected and major work on breezy will not ramp up until after UDU.

Yeah but Evolution is a major application of high importance so some sort of fix
would be much appreciated for us die-hard Ubuntu testers.

Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues has this working solution, I tried it and it works:

"You can try to:

1 - Revert the sources.list to hoary;
2 - Try to force all the packages I mentioned in the previous message
to hoary versions (with Force Version, or Crtl+E in synaptic)

evolution
evolution-data-server
evolution-exchange
evolution-webcal
libcamel
libebook
libecal
libedata-book
libedata-cal
libedataserver
libedataserverui
libegroupwise

After that, it should reinstall evolution. After that you lock this
packages for preventing future upgrades and you can continue to use
breezy.

I haven't tested this, but I think it should work.

Cheers

Lucas"
