Thanks for your explanation :)
I had thought about closing the bug myself because of the 'experimental' 
argument and because I didn't need it anymore. But having a proper reason, as 
you explained above, is always better.

Bug#794093: libnepomuk4: Please loosen the versioned dependency on libkdecore5 and libkdeui5 from '=' to '='

[Diederik de Haas]

Package: libnepomuk4
Version: 4:4.14.2-5
Severity: wishlist

I wanted to upgrade various libraries from the unstable version to the
experimental version in the hope that it would solve some odd behaviour
in dolphin's Places section (which it did).
But doing that I had to uninstall various nepomuk related libraries and
programs that depend on them (yakuake, but also muon which I don't use).

This is caused because libnepomuk4, libnepomukquery4a and
libnepomukutils4 have a strict versioned dependency on libkdecore5 and
libkdeui5 (= 4:4.14.2-5) and the version in experimental of those
libraries is 4:4.14.6-1. 
Oddly enough, libnepomukcore4 (version 4:14.0-1+b3) also has a
dependency on those libraries, but there the versioned dependency is
=4:4.13.
It would be great if the other nepomuk libraries could also have a
similar versioned dependency, thus '=' instead of '='.
