I just upgraded from Jessie to Stretch. The dist-upgrade went smoothly until I rebooted into the new system then things went wrong.

The first thing I noticed was that it complained when trying to start up KDE. It said the kde-plasma-desktop was invalid (or similar) and switched me into the default Gnome desktop.

Interestingly, I still had konsole so I used that to try to install task-kde-desktop. That failed with dependency errors so I tried lower-level kde packages and eventually got only a half-dozen packages that needed installing for kde-standard. Once I installed them and kde-standard, I was able to install the full task.

Except I couldn't start konsole or icedove when I rebooted and selected kde as the desktop. Iceweasel started OK as did gkrellm (two other things on my desktop session).

Trying the same tactic as before, I eventually got to trying to install libgnutls-deb0-28. When I ask apt-get to install it however, it decides it needs to remove pretty much everything kde and libreoffice - 390 packages in all.

Any advice on how I should proceed other than abandoning kde?
