Backport evolution-3.6.2 from raring to quantal

[old_toby]

Evolution 3.6.0 which is installed on quantal is a real pain in the ass. I constantly have to kill -9 the process to use it again, and the multiple signatures bug is just annoying.

Now I downloaded the 3.6.2 versions of
libebackend-1.2-5
libebook-1.2-14
libedataserverui-3.0-4
libedataserver-1.2-17
libecal-1.2-15
libevolution
libcamel-1.2-40
evolution-data-server-common
evolution-data-server
evolution-common
evolution-plugins-experimental
evolution-plugins
and of course: evolution
(and also libxml2 2.9.0)

from the raring repositories and installed it with dpkg -i *.deb.

Now my evolution works like a charm and it didn't break any dependencies.

It wouldn't hurt backporting these packages to quantal, so all quantal user would have a working evolution again.

Yes please. I am also running into the double signature bug, and would like to upgrade to evolution 3.6.2. Adding it to quantal-backports would be great!

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

There is a private PPA now at least: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2013-March/msg00104.html

Both raring and quantal now EOL so request is no longer valid
