Source: evolution-ews
Version: 3.54.2-1

Fedora has identified an interesting issue:
https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/461

To summarize, gnome-calendar and gnome-contacts are missing bits to
enable Microsoft 365 integration. And evolution-ews installs 2 files
to /usr/lib/evolution/modules that have a dependency on libevolution
and I assume wouldn't really work without Evolution. Those files
aren't needed for the gnome-calendar and gnome-contacts integration.

To avoid the libevoultion dependency, it looks like Fedora will create
an evolution-ews-core binary package and have gnome-online-accounts
depend on evolution-ews-core. There will still be an evolution-ews
binary package that installs the Evolution modules and depends on
evolution-ews-core.

I think avoiding the libevolution dependency is helpful for Debian
where gnome-core does not include evolution but the broader 'gnome'
package currently does. It's even more important for Ubuntu to avoid
needing to go through the extensive Main Inclusion process for the
source package evolution to fix this issue in Ubuntu too.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
