Is it a broken package, or somthing else?



Does removing/purging libclass-multimethods-perl help?


Via apt-get remove libclass-multimethods-perl I get this:

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.3.0-1.1) but 4:3.3.0-1 is to be installed libperl5.8: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-2.2) but 5.8.4-2 is to be installed libquantum-superpositions-perl: Depends: libclass-multimethods-perl but it isnot going to be installed 
  perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.4-2.2) but 5.8.4-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a s olution).
