Thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. I looked up evo-rss, and the currently available binary package is version 0.0.8, as reported by apt-cache policy:

hggdh@xango2:/usr/src/buildd $ apt-cache policy evolution-rss
evolution-rss:
  Installed: 0.0.8-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.0.8-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.8-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Looking at the installed files, I noticed it is installing the plugin under /usr/lib/evolution/2.22 -- *very* wrong for Intrepid since Evolution on Intrepid is 2.24.

I then downloaded the source, and -- to my surprise -- the source is V0.1.0, newer than the available package. Nevertheless, building from the source package fails.

Searching LP I found bug 263834 about the FTBFS on 0.1.0.

I am not sure -- I did not yet get the source for 0.0.8 -- but I am betting it would not work on Intrepid's Alpha6 anyways.

So I am confirming this bug, and changing the description to reflect the real issue (current 0.0.8 is incompatible with Evolution > 2.22).
