I just reinstalled unstable and got similar problems. kdelibs4 depends of libcupsys2 and gnome/cupsys/a whole load more depend on libcupsys2-gnutls10 (or something similar) which conflict. This also has the effect that kdelibs-dev cannot be installed as it ends up depending on both conflicting libraries... The bug was reported a few days ago so should get fixed soon, in the meantime I compiled kdelibs myself using the latest libcupsys-dev. (on another note, gnome is broken for installation at the moment, but I think that's due to it being upgraded to 2.6 and not all the packages being uploaded yet) Its a bit of a pain, but hey, its in unstable and I'm not paying for it so I can't really complain can I :-) Tristan -- np: Charlie Parker - Yardbird Sweet
