I apologize if this report is sent to the wrong place.  The manner of
reporting bugs in Ubuntu seems to be complete chaos.  Therefore I have
CCd the maintainers.

Evolution 2.5.3-0ubuntu1, the current package version in Dapper, claims
to depend on libfreetype6 >= 2.1.5-1, but really it needs a newer
version.  With version prior to 2.1.10, Evolution will crash with a
library symbol not found whenever displaying Asian characters.  With
libfreetype6 version 2.1.10-1, it Evolution does not crash.

I recommend updating the package Depends: line.
