I normally use synaptic as I never got along with aptitude - perhaps it's time 
to learn.

Anyway, the problem seems to be that there are some packages that are fairly 
central to KDE (kcron for instance) that are still at 3.4 in unstable. I am 
pretty much resigned to just sitting tight now. I tried to use packages from 
experimental but they have version numbers slightly too low.
