Dear Maintainer,

Trying to update packages (and evolution-ews in particular), I got the
following message:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution-ews-
core_3.54.3.0-3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/metainfo/org.gnome.Evolution-
ews.metainfo.xml', which is also in package evolution-ews (3.54.3.0-3)

To:
Version: 3.54.3.0-4

This should be fixed by:

 evolution-ews (3.54.3.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Branch for trixie
   * Don't install same file in both packages

which is already on its way into unstable.
