Still having dependency problems with Testing, KDE 4.3.4



Hi,

I hope someone can give me some advice on this, when I run aptitude safe-upgrade, a number of packages, mostly from kde, are being kept back, as follows:

The following packages have been kept back:
  akregator{a} esound-clients{a} esound-common{a} gnokii-common grub kaddressbook{a} kalarm{a} 
  kdepim{a} kdepim-groupware{a} kdepim-kresources{a} kdepim-wizards{a} kjots{a} kleopatra{a}   
  kmail{a} knode{a} knotes{a} konsolekalendar{a} kontact{a} korganizer{a} ktimetracker{a}      
  libestools1.2{a} libkabcommon4{a} libkdepim4 libkleo4{a} libkontactinterfaces4{a} libkpgp4{a} 
  libksieve4{a} libmimelib4{a} libwxgtk2.6-0{a} mplayer

Asking aptitude to go ahead shows messages like this for individual packages:

kjots will not be upgraded to version 4:4.3.4-1, to avoid breaking the following dependencies:

	* kjots replaces kontact (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]

and

kdepim-groupware will not be upgraded to version 4:4.3.4-1, to avoid breaking the following dependencies:

	* kdepim-groupware replaces kaddressbook (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]
	* kdepim-groupware replaces kdepim-kresources (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]
	* kdepim-groupware replaces knotes (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]
	* kdepim-groupware replaces korganizer (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]
	* kdepim-groupware replaces libkdepim4 (< 4:4.1.80) [UNAVAILABLE]

I've been having this problem for a couple of months, but based on an earlier message to this list http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2009/12/msg00012.html ("Dependencies problem with kdepim 4.3.2 in squeeze"), I had decided to just wait to see if the problem would resolve itself.

I'm hesitant to force an upgrade, as it seems like it will do all kinds of undesirable things.

Any thoughts appreciated.
