You got it backward.  Beagle, gnome-panel, etc. depend on evolution (or 
more likely e-d-s or e-sharp).  In general if you want to remove a 
package, try 'yum remove' instead of rpm -e.  It works better to help 
you resolve the dependency chain.

'yum remove evolution'

Evolution the app is different from the libraries it provides which apps 
(other than evolution) use.  If you use beagle, you use evolution-sharp. 
 If you use gnome-panel, you use evolution-data-server.

 so I'd like to remove it from my system. BTW I upgraded my
