I am using Sid 2.6.7 and I seem to be having some broken package problems. The funny thing is that this is a week old, and noone else seems to have submitted a bug report. This has completely handicapped apt, so I can not use it right now. Below is the return of apt-get install -f

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.3.0-1.1) but 4:3.3.0-1 is to be installed
libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-2.2) but 5.8.4-2 is to be installed
libquantum-superpositions-perl: Depends: libclass-multimethods-perl but it isnot going to be installed
perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-2.2) but 5.8.4-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a s olution).
