Most probably, kdelibs5-dbg should had
a strict dependency on
libkdecore5, since it is basically used
by almost all the other
packages, as the other packages have
strict dependencies among them
already.
OTOH, kde4libs version 4:4.14.16-1
switched to the automatic dbgsym
packages -- see:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages
The result of the above is that each
binary package has its own -dbgsym
package, with a strict version
dependency.
I believe this should solve the issue,
so I'm closing this bug as fixed.
Thank you for your report,
