I had the same issue here. The problem was that kdelibs5/4:4.0.84-1, which was 
the last version that was uploaded to experimental, was not upgraded to the 
latest version in unstable (currently 4:4.0.98+svn833207-1). I did this then 
manually with

  apt-get install -t unstable kdelibs5

and all is back to normal now. This also fixed the "Could not find the Okular 
component."-issue I had with okular.

Cheers,
Frank
