A system  update on my Debian unstable box fails with the following messages.

The following packages have been kept back
  kde
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1  not upgraded.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kde: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but 4:2.2.1-14 is to be installed
