When evolution was downgraded from 1.5 to 1.4, the libgal2, gtkhtml3 and 
libsoup packgakes were also downgraded. It is likely that you have the 
newer versions of these packages installed. You need to downgrade these 
packages. You can do this by downloading the packages and installing 
them using "rpm --upgrade --oldpackage".
