You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kdeaddons: Depends: kontact-plugins (>= 4:3.2.3-2) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).

So then I do:

[rabbit]root%apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:
  kontact-plugins
Suggested packages:
  kdeaddons-doc-html
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Are you sure you want to be running unstable? Something like this is typically the result of using unstable and/or mixing with other package sources 

Anyway; I guess you got to get rid of the conflict; so..

dpkg --force-overwrite -i \
/var/cache/apt/archives/kontact-plugins_4%3a3.2.3-2_i386.deb
Maybe you want to use `script` to make a log file of everything that happens; apt-get will continue it's work when it finds that conflict is gone (probably) or use apt-get -f install again; 

HTH,
