Evolution 2.30.1 for Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit

For some reason Ubuntu 10.04 is shipped with Evolution 2.28.3, which for me is quite unstable. Crashes with Segmentation Fault very often. However, Jacob Zimmermann has a PPA with Evolution 2.30.1:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jacob/evo230
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I hope this is more stable!
