The output is as follows:

relocateable)

Summary     : GNOME's next-generation groupware suite
Description :
Evolution is the GNOME collection of personal information management
(PIM) tools.

Evolution includes a mailer, calendar, contact manager and
communication facility.  The tools which make up Evolution are
tightly integrated with one another and act as a seamless personal
information-management tool.

Is there some other version of Evolution besides the one form Ximian? 
Should I remove/uninstall Ximian Evolution before attempting another
upgrade to FC1?  I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Thanks again.

John
