dist-upgrade problem



My system is testing with a 2.4.20 kernel.

I just ran apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade.
Result:

   Reading Package Lists . . .  Done
   Building Dependency Tree . . .  Done
   Calculating Upgrade . . .  Failed
   Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not going to be installed or
                               kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held Packages.

In fact, dpkg -l |grep kdebase reports ii kdebase-audiolibs     2.2.2.14

Unitl last week dist-upgrade always worked perfectly. Then, when I ran it last week it completed the upgrade but with a message that the file-rc and kudzu packages were being held back so perhaps this is the problem. But, if I run apt-get install file-rc, I get a warning message that 10 important packages and one essential package (sysvinit) will be removed and so I must abort the install. There is also a message that 85 packages would be upgraded even
though, as noted, I just ran dist-upgrade last week.

Does anyone know what is going on?
