Thank you for your post it worked a treat. In case someone else has this
problem I used (I think) the 3rd option from "aptitude install cpp/testing
g++/testing gcc/testing gcc-5-base/testing" which was:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) cpp-5
2) gcc-5
3) libasan2
4) libcc1-0
5) libgcc-5-dev
6) libmpx0
Downgrade the following packages:
7) gcc [4:5.2.1-2 (now, unstable) -> 4:4.9.2-4 (testing)]
8) gcc-5-base:i386 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
9) libatomic1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
10) libcilkrts5 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
11) libgcc1 [1:5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 1:5.1.1-14 (testing)]
12) libgcc1:i386 [1:5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 1:5.1.1-14 (testing)]
13) libgfortran3 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
14) libgomp1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
15) libicu52 [52.1-11 (now, unstable) -> 52.1-10 (testing)]
16) libitm1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
17) liblsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
18) libobjc4 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
19) libquadmath0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
20) libstdc++6 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
21) libtsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
22) libubsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)]
Also I needed the 4th option from "aptitude install kontact" which was:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) kdepim-doc
2) ktnef
Downgrade the following packages:
3) libfollowupreminder4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2
(unstable)]
4) libkdgantt2-0 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2
(unstable)]
5) libkmanagesieve4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2
(unstable)]
6) libkpgp4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)]
7) libksieve4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)]
8) libsendlater4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2
(unstable)]
In addition I had to install knode so that newsgroups could be found in
Kontact.
