Package: kdebase Version: 4:3.5.1-1 Severity: important I regret that I can't be more specific, but for the past month, each time I attempt to perform "apt-get dist-upgrade" of my unstable configuration, I get a note that kate and kate-plugins will be removed.
In an attempt to circumvent this problem, I did an upgrade of kate and then an upgrade of kdebase. Now an attempt to dist-upgrade warns me that kaddressbook, kate-plugins, kdebase, and konqueror will all be removed, but kate will remain. The upgrade of kdebase resulted in these packages being upgraded: # apt-get install kdebase Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: kappfinder kcontrol kdebase-bin kdebase-data kdebase-kio-plugins kdepasswd kdeprint kdesktop kdm kfind khelpcenter kicker klipper kmenuedit konqueror konqueror-nsplugins konsole kpager kpersonalizer ksmserver ksplash ksysguard ksysguardd ktip kwin libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 libkonq4 Suggested packages: kdebase-doc-html efax hylafax-client mgetty-fax kicker-applets konq-plugins konq-speaker Recommended packages: hal pmount kamera kdemultimedia-kio-plugins kdebase-libs The following NEW packages will be installed: kdebase kdepasswd klipper kmenuedit ksysguard libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 The following packages will be upgraded: kappfinder kcontrol kdebase-bin kdebase-data kdebase-kio-plugins kdeprint kdesktop kdm kfind khelpcenter kicker konqueror konqueror-nsplugins konsole kpager kpersonalizer ksmserver ksplash ksysguardd ktip kwin libkonq4 I also executed # apt-get install kdelibs-bin kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a kedit Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Recommended packages: gamin The following packages will be upgraded: kdelibs-bin kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a kedit but the dist-upgrade still insists on uninstalling kdebase, etc. This strikes me as a conflict or problem that's buried inside a KDE package. The last time I did a dist-upgrade, I was able to re-install kate and kate-plugins without any difficulty, but I shudder to think of trying to reinstall kdebase.
