It's not a single rpm that needs uploading. Everything that depends on
the libraries in the evolution-data-server package (e.g. gnome-panel,
gtksourceview etc.) needs rebuilding and releasing.

Or, better, the evolution-data-server update should be pulled from the
repos until all of the dependent packages are ready to go at the same
time.

The bugzilla entry for this issue is:

Futher complaints there rather than here please :-)

Pretty please! With cherries on top!

Paul.
