I just upgraded from Jessie to Stretch. The dist-upgrade went smoothly

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?
The usual Stretch advice? Wait a few days, then try again? And then
another
few days, and then try again?
If necessary, wait a few weeks, really zap everything KDE, and install
KDE
afresh?

I'm running Stretch on an Acer Travelmate 6593 with a full KDE desktop,
and Gnome desktop on a Dell Optiplex 980. No trouble with either. I
don't run 'dist-upgrade' any longer. It's always 'safe-upgrade'. I have
no problems with that. I haven't had any problems with an unstable
install for years, but perhaps I'm lucky.
Cheers!
Weaver.
