You're absolutely right! I had evolution-data-server and everything
pretty much related to evolution removed since I don't use Evolution.
Once I installed evolution-data-server my gnome-about-me is working
again :)

Therefor, adding evolution-data-server as dependency would definitely
take care of that :)
