We could maybe add a "Breaks" here, but mixing different repositories is problematic anyways.
Strange because AFAIK my MATE desktop came from the Debian repositories. A second problem I am having is two MATE packages which won't update: Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: libmateweather-common libmatewnck-common 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. frank@frank-debian:~$ This has been the situation for months.
As a hotfix, you can run: apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" -f install
