no, you most likely made an error. There are several possibilities what you might have done wrong. I suspect pinning isn't the issue, but assumed you already added and enabled the repository, you perhaps forgot to update, before you upgraded. If you didn't sync the package index, the package management isn't aware about the new packages. Reload, resp. synch the package index: sudo apt-get update Assumed the PPA split Evolution in packages the Ubuntu way, you don't need to remove or purge an existing version of Evolution, you just need to upgrade: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Warning! Assumed you should have made this mistake, then it's not a good idea to install packages from a third party repository. Using third party repositories could break your install, if you don't understand what you're doing.
