Re: apt-get problem (bug in apt-get?)

Are you running unstable?  If so, as of the last time I checked, the 
kdemultimedia package is broken.  A bug report was filed some time ago but it 
has not yet been fixed.  This is one of the joys of running unstable and the 
price to be paid for running a more "cutting edge" distribution.  Personally 
I find it remarkably stable but these things do happen from time to time.

I'd say your problem is with the version of the package rather than the 
package itself not being installed.  I think you will find all will install 
fine when the bug is resolved.  If you are really desperate you can force the 
install of whatever package has the unresolved dependency and hope it works 
or that you can make it work by symlinking libraries etc,. or perhaps install 
from source.

The better option is probably to wait.
