I can't answer that, except to say that the current version of
Evolution is 3.42 and you seem to be using 3.28. That's roughly 7
years out of date. In the interim the root website has changed:
Only because *this* PC is using CentOS 7, another one has Fedora. I
don't think it should be *that* far out of date, but it is CentOS 7's
current version.
Centos 7 is frozen to versions of packages from about 7 or 8 years ago.
The whole point of centos is to support old versions of software for the long term.
It’s not my choice for desktop os because the apps are so old and hard to get help with.
I ran CentOS on my notebook until Fedora 6; that is when I made the
switch even with the semi-annual ver upgrade approach. It was always
behind, for good reasons on apps.
Now I typically only do annual Fedora upgrades; when the ver I am using
EOLs. Thus I tend to be current and avoid, for the most part old
stuff. Though new stuff does not always work (can't figure out why VLC
hard hangs my system with some videos).
In all seriousness, there has to be a good hardware reason to run CentOS
on a notebook.
