yes because "libgnutls7" and "libgnutls10" can't be installed at the same time (same files in the package) you have to decide what you want :) libgnutls7 and kde works or libgnutls10 and cups because kde was compiled on a system where libgnutls7 was installed it needs this library to work correct. Maybe it even works correct on libgnutls10 but "apt-get" doesn't allow to install it anyway. In the kde packages meta info is a field called: "Depends". All packages that are mentioned in this field needs to be installed before the actual package can be installed. I'm sure the kde maintainer will correct that by updating the build-depencies from libgnutls7 to libgnutls10. After rebuilding the new kdelibs package against libgnutls10 the problem will be fixed. So, if the new packages are available the problem will not affect you anymore. That is the disadvantage when using "unstable" as system. It is always possible that some packages will not be installable, because of such conflicts. Fix for now (no further steps needed, even if a new kde is available): If you need to install cups (even if you have only libgnutls7 with kde installed) then download the cups .deb file from a debian mirror (should be in /pool/c/cups) and install it with: "dpkg -i --force-all <pkg-name.deb>" In theory the same fix helps if kde is not installable. But kde consists of a lot of packages, so it's very ugly to download all files and install them manually. In this case I would uninstall cups with libgnutls10 and then install kde with apt-get (then there is no conflict). After that it is possible to download the cups .deb file from a mirror and install that package manually. That makes less work :) > > Sorry, /me = n00b ... No problem, everybody learns every day...
