I'm eager to give the patch a try. I've never learned yet how to add
add a source patch to a package definition, so it might take me some
time to get to it if I had no help. Is there an ETA on Gnome 3.34?

Searching the web for the error message leads to these bug reports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1757243
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/issues/587

Apparently Evolution does not work properly with WebKitGTK
2.26.Backporting all the upstream changes looks cumbersome, but I
suppose wecould do something like this until we have GNOME 3.34:

Thoughts?  Are you able to give it a try?
Thanks,Marius
