It is not possible to upgrade these packages without either
(a) deinstalling nearly the entire system or (b) using a --force
option to dpkg to force violation of the declared dependencies.

(a) is absurd and (b) should not be necessary (dependencies
which should be violated shouldn't be declared by the packages).

closing.
