Bug#353171: dist-upgrade of unstable will remove kdebase
Package: kdebase
Version: 4:3.5.1-1
Severity: important
I regret that I can't be more specific, but for the past month, each time I attempt to perform "apt-get dist-upgrade" of my unstable configuration, I get a note that kate and kate-plugins will be removed.
In an attempt to circumvent this problem, I did an upgrade of kate and then an upgrade of kdebase. Now an attempt to dist-upgrade warns me that kaddressbook, kate-plugins, kdebase, and konqueror will all be removed, but kate will remain.
The upgrade of kdebase resulted in these packages being upgraded:
# apt-get install kdebase

The following extra packages will be installed:

The following packages will be upgraded:

but the dist-upgrade still insists on uninstalling kdebase, etc.
This strikes me as a conflict or problem that's buried inside a KDE package. The last time I did a dist-upgrade, I was able to re-install kate and kate-plugins without any difficulty, but I shudder to think of trying to reinstall kdebase.
The complete list of packages that dist-upgrade will atttempt to install:
