Try "yum erase NetworkManager.i386" if you're running x86_64. That
won't take out evolution, since you have a 64-bit evolution and
are only removing the 32-bit version of NM.

Probably the one that wouldn't work was 64-bit and the one that did was
32-bit only.
Just another example of evil from NetworkManager. The dev team for it
should be taken to the woodshed.
