You must have "stable" sources in /etc/apt/sources.list so you are trying to install woody's version of evolution. You could add: deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib ..where the server may vary slightly depending on the debian mirror you are using. Remember to update packet list by typing "apt-get update" Please keep in mind that if you do that and then type: apt-get update apt-get upgrade ...you'll may be upgrading a lot of software. You may want to edit "/etc/apt/preferences" in order to upgrade only evolution, for instance. In case you had the sources in the list and your problem is related to "/etc/apt/preferences", you could install evolution too using: apt-get -t unstable install evolution Good luck!
