OK, this is good -- it at least knows that it should be able to
install 4:3.3.2-1.

Someone else would have to answer that -- I've only used dselect when
absolutely necessary, and then I tend to flail around a bit.

Forcing probably isn't a good idea unless all other options are exhausted.

Is this essentially the same error message as you originally posted?
If it's reasonably short, please post it. You *might* be able to
apt-get install kdelibs-bin kdelibs4
It's possible that something is preventing kdelibs4 from upgrading. You can try
apt-get install kdelibs4=4:3.3.2-1
and see what dependency conflicts arise from that. If apt is just
confused, that might (though probably won't) fix everything.
