I think that months ago I compiled syncevolution from source over

problems until I compiled the newer version and killed the old
libraries.
That sounds possible. I was wondering about the "overwrote system
library" part earlier. A configure without explicit --prefix=/usr should
install in /usr/local and thus not overwrite anything. I myself don't
install as root, by making /usr/local writable for my normal account.
checkinstall is even better. It creates .debs which (if named like the
ones from syncevolution.org) ensures that no conflicting versions are
installed in parallel and/or on top of each other.
