maybe one way would be to temporarily change your repo to buster, drag in the new evolution and then change back to stretch, you should however only do this on a non-production machine, test it first, check carefully and write down everything it is going to alter (lots of GTK stuff I'd guess) and _backup_ your data first. try asking if anyone has done this and can give you pointers over on the debian user list. <[email protected]> Cheers, Dom. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
