I see. The package dependencies aren't defined correctly in the package,
libebook-1.2-14 is also acceptable but not listed. FWIW, I already
revised the automated testing the last view days. It now includes real
install tests of these packages. I'm not with it yet, so I haven't
actually seen the results for Saucy (= 13.10), but I expect I'll see the
same failure as you did.

Anyway, you can install with "aptitude install syncevolution-bundle".
That installs the same package, without enforcing dependencies on
Evolution. The resulting binaries will then work with EDS 3.8 (that's
something that I had tested when releasing 1.3.99.6).
