I see almost the same thing (not quite the same list of packages).
The only package `apt-get dist-upgrade` wanted to update was libarts1
which replaces libarts, but along with that it wanted to remove (almost)
everything related to kde.
Trying to `apt-get install libarts1` it just wanted to remove libarts
(which is quite an obvious thing to do), kbattleship and libkmid.
Finding that libarts1-dev replaces libkmid, I then tried `apt-get
install libarts1 libarts1-dev`, that wanted to remove libqt3-dev which
has been replaced by libqt3-compat-headers (which are
suggested/recommended by that apt-get command).
I finally decided to actually do an `apt-get install libarts1
libarts1-dev libqt3-compat-headers`, which resulted in the removal of
kbattleship.
Then `apt-get dist-upgrade` wanted to upgrade libprm4 to a version that
conflicts with kpackage, I allowed that too.
As far as I can tell the problems preventing an upgrade of kde is:
- koffice (e.g. kchart) is waiting for glibc.
- kpm has been replaced by ksysguard, which depends on ksysguardd which
in turn depends on the non-existant libsensors-1debian1
- kdemultiedia (e.g. kscd) is just a mess (0 days old, RC-bugs, lots of
packages not yet compiled on non-i386).
- kdeartwork (e.g. kscreensaver) is out of date on arm and mips.
- kdepim (karm, knotes and korganizer) is out of date on mips.
- kfract only exists in stable (+security)
In the 'probably not a problem' category, are a few packages that have
been replaced:
- kenolaba replaces kabalone
- kdelibs-data replaces several packages (e.g. kontour)
- libkdenetwork2-dev replaces libkdenetwork1
- libkonq4 replaces libkonq3
The 'probably' is due to the fact that I can't tell if these packages
would be installed if the above problems were solved.
In the 'I don't really know how this should be' category, I wonder if
libkdegames1 should replace libkdegames.
