Tracking it down further, it looks like aptitude or apt is broken.Aptitude says kdelibs4 conficts with kdelibs3 (<4:3.0.0 )Looking at what versions of kdelibs3 are pending installation I see: 4:2.2.2-13.woody.9 4:2.2.2-13.woody.8 Isn't 4:2.2.2-woody.8 < 4:3.0.0.0 ???
Maybe I'm not understanding the problem here. kdelibs4 lists conflicts: kdelibs3 < 4:3.0.0 replaces kdelibs3 < 4:3.0.0 4:2.2.2-woody.8 is less than 4:3.0.0. That is correct.Are you saying the problem is that you have upgraded packages out of stable and now want to return all packages to stable?
Have you tried forcing aptitude to install a particular version of the packages you are having trouble with?
You should append '=version' to the package name, or append '/stable', for example, to install from stable.
At least with apt-get, from what I recall, this is supposed to take care of downgrading dependencies as you would expect.
