Why are you using a PPA when evolution is in the official repositories and is known to work.

Did you even read your own output?

Did you report a bug to the PPA maintainer?

You can resolve this with:

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution-data-server_3.11.2~git20131107~1fe576b-fta1~13.04_i386.deb

sudo apt-get -f install

The package overlap needs resolving so I suggest you email the maintainer of the PPA and let them know. This sort of thing is why normal users should not use PPAs as they simply don't have the ability to fix issues, as this page demonstrates.
