dependancy problems
Hi,
somehow I have broken my system on alpha, when trying updates. Hence I
decided to deinstall as much as possible and build up again, but now I
cannot install packages, like kdebase:
alph:~ # apt-get install kdebase
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdebase: Depends: kappfinder (>= 4:3.1.4-1) but 4:3.1.3-1 is to be installed
Depends: kate (>= 4:3.1.4-1) but 4:3.1.3-1 is to be installed

Depends: libkonq4 (>= 4:3.1.4-1) but 4:3.1.3-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
it seems to require more recent packages that are not available on the
servers. How can I fix that problem? "apt-get -f install" does not help.
Can I downgrade the system? Is there a problem on debian fileservers?
thanks for any good help
JR
