Lol. I more meant for a majority of the packages, especially the more commonly
used ones, not every single package in main, contrib and non-free. :D
Basically to where things aren't horribly broken when running aptitude/apt-

Should be full sid. I don't even have stable or testing in my sources.

I've just tried that, but no luck after like 10. Still removing plasma and
digikam.

It seems like all the older virtual and meta packages are holding things back.
I may go in and remove things like kde-full, and kde-workspace* (I think that
was renamed plasma-workspace*?). But I really don't want to do without digikam
which i read isn't updated yet.
Not sure what I'll do yet, i do virtually everything on this machine and I
don't want to break anything essential (like kmail). I'll wait longer if I
have to.
I setup a test install in virtual box that I'll try and upgrade to the latest
kde and test out for a bit i think. See how it goes.

Fun story: a week or so ago, aptitude was regularly crashing trying to resolve
conflicts. It would sit and spin for tens of minutes (possibly longer?) then
crash. At least it isn't doing that anymore. heh.
