That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how fink packages and mirrors
work. A package is a hand-written description of a specific version of
a certain program (source URL, compiler commands, etc). A "mirror" is
just an alternate place to find that same source. Fink does not have
*generic* build instructions ("package foo, whatever version happens
to exist on the mirror"). Your edit tells fink to look at that URL for
the evolution-1.5.92.1 source tarball (that being the version of
fink's evolution package), which is clearly not going to work at all,
let alone accomplish what you are trying to do.
