Re: kdevelop - unmet dependencies

I'm running testing and would like to install kdevelop, but when I run

apt-get install kdevelop

I get the following:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kdevelop: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be
  installed
              Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not going to be installed
	      E: Sorry, broken packages

Is this truly a broken package, or is there something I need to fix on
my end?  I.e. install the unstable version of kdelibs3 and kdebase-libs?
I'm concerned, however, that if I do this, that other apps will get
messed up.

Thanks
Kevin
It doesn't appear broken here. Try doing "apt-get install kdelibs3 kdebase-libs" to figure out why apt-get doesn't want to install them[the testing versions are fine[kdebase-libs has identical versions in testing and unstable and kdelibs3 is pretty close to identical[1 packaging version]]. The usual reason would be that something would need to be removed, but nothing in debian conflicts with kdelibs3or kdebase-libs... Do you have any non-Debian sources that might be the culprit?
