Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
There are three desktop files in the evolution package:
/usr/share/applications/evolution-mail.desktop
/usr/share/applications/evolution-2.2.desktop
/usr/share/applications/evolution-2.6.desktop
The 2.2 one probably shouldn't be there. It doesn't point to 2.2
anyway. The other two have been discussed before.
... and there are four in app-install-data:
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/evolution-mail.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/evolution-2.2.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/evolution-2.4.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/evolution-2.6.desktop
All of which point to 2.6. At least -2.2 and -2.4 should be removed and
probably -2.6 or -mail. It may make some kind of sense to have
evolution show up in both Office and Internet (though their icons should
probably match) but it doesn't make any sense for it to show up four
times in gnome-app-install, especially if they all point to exactly the
same version.
