In trying to keep my system up to date...

as root I typed "apt-get upgrade -f"

This is the message I got. Can someone please explain this to me?

Why is it trying to remove evolution? And why is it keeping some
packages back? What do I need to do from here? If I need to remove
evolution, is there a way to back up my emails and settings so when I
reinstall it I wont have lost anything?
