The package broken is: evolution-data-server
The workaround is to downgrade to the previous version by issuing the following command_
apt-get install evolution-data-server=2.24.1-0ubuntu1 evolution-data-server-common=2.24.1-0ubuntu1 evolution=2.24.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-common=2.24.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-plugins=2.24.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-plugins-experimental=2.24.1-0ubuntu2

i don't know if you have to downgrade all the staff, but this workaround will fix the problem.

My two cent:
a bad practice in the Linux world is to continuously release all those minor updates, without any good testing (I hope nobody wants to say that tests were good if I cannot empty the trash...)... in this case the update were broken (I am also upset as I have an UMTS with limited data consumption per day. That's why I am bothering here :-) ).
Furthermore in the real world of desktop users, these kind of bugs are to be considered severe usability issues. I use Ubuntu with Evolution at work, and I am much worried about these usability issues than security concerns and so on....
