This is what in my opinion Goswin meant by
'Welcome to sid!' in two or three other threads. If you are running sid
you must expect such dependency issues to happen (though I agree this
is quite a complex situation right now). If you are not actively
working on and supporting the transition the only thing - with regards
to sid - is to wait. Because the current issues affect basically
everybody using sid (+x.org +kde) I suppose people are heavily working
on it and a resolution will come soon.
I found a working way for myself by falling back to testing (etch),
installing both x.org and KDE 3.4.1 from Ubuntu (on a different
partition) which also allows me to use the Nvidia driver incl. glx.
This at least allows me to continue my 'reglular desktop use' of the
system until everything has been sorted out in sid.
As soon as the transitions in sid are done (i.e. x.org and the kde
dependencies), and a dist-upgrade will clean up everything on my sid
partition, I will switch back to that environment again.
