** Description changed:

  The package evolution-rss is not installable. It depends on evolution <
  3.2, which obviously is not available.
+ 
+ [ Impact ]
+ Package is uninstallable in Oneiric for all users.
+ 
+ [ Development Fix ]
+ Fixed in Precise by pulling version 0.2.90~20111111-1 from Debian 
experimental. That version depends on evolution (>= 3.2), evolution (<< 3.3).
+ 
+ [ Stable Fix ]
+ According to upstream git log [1], there's only one commit related to changes 
in evolution [2] between 2011-08-22 (date of Oneiric snapshot) and 2011-11-11 
(date of Precise snapshot). That commit only has effect for evolution >= 3.3.1. 
So there's no code changes we need to backport from Precise version. The fix is 
just relaxing binary dependency from << 3.2 to << 3.3.
+ 
+ [ Test Case ]
+ Run in terminal:
+ 
+ $ sudo apt-get install evolution-rss
+ 
+ Result:
+ 
+ The following packages have unmet dependencies:
+  evolution-rss : Depends: evolution (< 3.2) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 is to be 
installed
+ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
+ 
+ Expected result: successful installation.
+ 
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+ Once the package is installable, bugs in it may become visible.
