I found this bug when I had a similar problem. I don't agree that the bug is invalid. The answer that "evolution" is not a dependency is insufficient. Even if the package called "evolution" is removable, gnome-panel still depends on libedataserverui, which is described as "GUI utility library for evolution-data-server". As an end user, that still means that gnome-panel is dependent on Evolution, the software and not "evolution" the package. I never use evolution and I don't see why this must be installed just to make gnome-panel work.
This bug should be reopened.
