I have the same problem. It's a bunch of nonsense in an endless loop. I have to remove every package individually (manually!) and all dependencies EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS HAPPENS. Frustrating. I forced an install of libqtcore4 and my system became unstable, freezing and such. >From what I have experienced, VirtualBox, Skype and a few others cannot run without it.
