Recently Ubuntu pushed some new kernel files and an update to evolution to me. I didn’t want evolution so I did what I could to rip it out because unfortunately it is tied to the OS.
This really should have been easy, but if you try to remove it will come up with dependencies. So I opened up Synaptic Package Manager and this is what I did. The following applies to 8.04.1 Hardy Heron.
Packages I removed:
evolution-common
evolution-data-server
evolution-plugins
libedata-book1.2-2
libedata-cal1.2-6
libegroupwise1.2-13
libexchange-storage1.2-3
libgdata1.2-1
libgdata-google1.2-1
Packages I upgraded:
libecal1.2-7
libedataserverui1.2-8
evolution-data-server-common
Just thought it might be helpful to anyone else wanting to rip Evolution out. So far I haven’t noticed any problems at all.
