I once (ONLY ONCE) tried to run both ximian and debian gnome packages in harmony. I couldn't get them to play fair. I remember reading something about differing contents in these dependecy and library packages. I beleive the problem was that ximian and debian had gotten out of sync with what depends on what. (1) One solution is to run the gnome and evolution out of unstable (I'm doing it right now woo woo. with a whole unstable dist (easy). (2) The harder way would be to inform apt that you only want potato except for the gnome and evolution stuff which would come from a newer distribution. I suggest 1 ;> I can provide some help with 2 if you are dead set on it.
