I also had this problem with a further message that the difficulty might
be packages that had been held back. I solved it by purging kde as I
prefer icewm anyway; kde has too many bells and whistles I never use.
As to the comment that us pedestrians should stick to stable, there were
times when a package I needed was not yet available in stable so I have
had one computer running testing for over a year now and have run
apt-get dist-upgrade regularly. It was only on May 9th of this year
that the above problem appeared. Until then apt-get dist-upgrade ran
with never a hitch.
