evolution: e-data-server Error opening directory '/usr/lib/evolution-data-server/credential-modules'

[B.]

After updating evolution to 3.18.5.1-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04,
it stopped working:

$ evolution
(evolution:4688): e-data-server-WARNING **: e_module_load_all_in_directory: Error opening directory '/usr/lib/evolution-data-server/credential-modules': No such file or directory

My workaround:
sudo apt-get install evolution-data-server-online-accounts

Then it worked again.

Maybe you need to add "Depends: evolution-data-server-online-accounts (>= 3.18.5)" to evolution package
or remove the new depency.

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

I'm facing this problem too... But I am unable to install the package, look:

 It tries to uninstall Unity8, which I'm experimenting / using now.

 So, what to do?
