Hi,

I've given up the rpm package management decades ago. IOW I'm not
familiar with it anymore.

Regarding google you could run

# rpm -q <package name> --last

Dunno if this is correct. Your distro might or might not provide a
downgrade option. However, downgrading evolution related packages might
not work without either downgrading tons of other packages or compiling
a previous version of evolution against current versions of
dependencies, if it should work at all. Let alone that evolution might
not be the culprit, but a dependency probably might cause the issue.

In a nutshell, consider to join a mailing list or forum of your distro
and as maybe the case file a bug report at your distros's bug tracker.

>Evolution 3.36.5 (3.36.5-1.fc32)
                         ^^
                         -1 is a pointer that it's most likely the
                         first rlease of a package, of this particular
                         evolution version.

However, how to value the -1 depends on the policy of your distro.

Assuming a release model distro, there might be no upgrade of the
evolution version or any dependency version, but a version of a
dependency might be patched, IOW it might have a new package release
number. A patch, maybe something backported could be the culprit.
