Hi! I have not yet gone through your list, but just a quick guess: Could this be related to a recent upgrade in your system?
The rosegarden4 package you have was built against kde 3.2. But kde 3.3 has recently entered testing, and is the version you are using. You may check if this is the case by installing the version of rosegarden4 in unstable, 0.9.91-1 (1.0pre1). It seems that you won't need to upgrade any library for that. Please, let me know if this fixed it. Enrique.
