The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.20.2-3+deb8u6) but 5.24.1~rc3-3 is to be installed
        Depends: perl-modules (>= 5.20.2-3+deb8u6)
        Recommends: rename but it is not going to be installed
 perl-base : Breaks: perl (< 5.24.1~rc3~) but 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

If I add perl too, it's back to uninstalling kde.

I tried that earlier, but gave up since the number of dependency
problems just seemed to grow. But if I keep doing that, without giving
up, I eventually find a resolution not uninstalling lots of packages
by using

apt-get install -t testing libstdc++6 build-essential perl kde-standard \
  juk libtag1v5 libtag1v5-vanilla akregator kio libkf5libkdepim-plugins \
  libkf5libkdepim5 libkf5wallet5 libkwalletbackend5-5 libkf5notifications5 \
  phonon4qt5 k3b vlc

Thanks! (Now remaining problem is that I don't have the needed 1GB+ available
space on /var, but I'll sort that out one way or the other).

I still think it's unfortunate that the libicu upgrade requires all of that.

Thanks for the help,
/Niels
