The following packages have unmet dependencies: perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.20.2-3+deb8u6) but 5.24.1~rc3-3 is to be installed Depends: perl-modules (>= 5.20.2-3+deb8u6) Recommends: rename but it is not going to be installed perl-base : Breaks: perl (< 5.24.1~rc3~) but 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 is to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. > If it gives an error, manually add the packages it cannot install on the > commandline, until you either found the actual dependency problem or apt > found a way forward.

I tried that earlier, but gave up since the number of dependency problems just seemed to grow. But if I keep doing that, without giving up, I eventually find a resolution not uninstalling lots of packages by using apt-get install -t testing libstdc++6 build-essential perl kde-standard \ juk libtag1v5 libtag1v5-vanilla akregator kio libkf5libkdepim-plugins \ libkf5libkdepim5 libkf5wallet5 libkwalletbackend5-5 libkf5notifications5 \ phonon4qt5 k3b vlc Thanks! (Now remaining problem is that I don't have the needed 1GB+ available space on /var, but I'll sort that out one way or the other). I still think it's unfortunate that the libicu upgrade requires all of that. Thanks for the help, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid 368C6677.
