kde apt problem

[Adam Hardy <adam.ant@cyberspaceroad.com>]

I can't get kde. There seems to be a problem with the package dependencies.

I had a bit of fun trying to track down the problem but couldn't figure 
it out. Below is the output.

Q: is there a KDE lite that I can install rather than the huge KDE 
metapackage?
