By default, debian gnome come with Evolution 3.12. I would like to upgrade to the last version available 3.18.

I download the source package and proceed with a

# download source
wget https://download.gnome.org/sources/evolution/3.18/evolution-3.18.0.tar.xz

# decompress
tar xf *.tar.xz

# start setup
./configure

and it give a error message which indicate me there is a package version error.

...
configure: error: Package requirements (camel-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libebook-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libecal-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libedataserver-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libedataserverui-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libebackend-1.2 >= 3.18.0) were not met:

 No package 'libedataserverui-1.2' found
 Requested 'libebackend-1.2 >= 3.18.0' but version of libebackend is 3.12.9

How could I solve this ?

  • If you want recent software, Debian is not the best choice for a distribution. You will have to replace far more than Evolution to get this to work. – Michael Hampton Apr 16 '16 at 17:29

The easiest way to run the latest Evolution on an older distribution of Linux is to use Flatpak:
