I have resolved the problem I used the Synaptic Package Manager to remove the package with the broken dependency, then I removed xmms-kde and xmms. Upgrade (without problems) Install xmms-kde and xmms and all other packages which were removed at the same time (kde kdeaddons kdenetwork kicker-applets kopete mplayer-amd64 xmp-xmms) -> no problems.
apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Problem solved. Thanx for any help!
