I know this problem :-) I suppose this is KDE3. The second time, I was fed up with this dependency problem, and each time I use dselect, I make a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/status to make a rollback if I forget to type Ctrl-X when dselect suggests to get rid of half of the system (dselect is not very good for a mix of woody, sarge and sid...) cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /mnt/bak/sys/status.`date +%F-%X` > Can I just shitcan all of KDE and start with a fresh install? If I suppose you want KDE3 from Sid, you can force apt to install everything by taking its dependencies in Sid too : apt-get install -t unstable kde/unstable (same for other packages) But I suppose it will ask you to remove the package which was the cause of the problem.
