Details

Latest gnome-calendar package upgrade from 3.26.2-2 to 3.26.2+19+g954c48d7-1 added two dependencies, 'evolution' and 'gnome-control-center', which should be optional, since the main package works fairly well without those two. Having those two as hard dependencies pulls a lot of unnecessary extra components for users without the entire Gnome DE installed. Optional dependency descriptions for those should be:

- gnome-control-center: Calendar import support
- evolution: .ICS file import support
This task depends upon
