You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When installing koffice-kde4 (or any of the individual packages kword-
kde4, kpresenter-kde4, etc.) all KOffice 1.x packages are removed,
including Kexi.
While it is fine that the Koffice1 versions of Kword, KPresenter, etc.
are removed during the installation (and replaced by their Koffice2
counterparts), Kexi should *not* be removed because there is no Koffice2
version for it yet.
Conversely, the package "kexi" can't be installed without uninstalling
all KOffice2 packages.
This effectively forces anyone who needs Kexi to stay with the Koffice1
versions for all the other apps as well.
The expected behaviour would be that KWord, KPresenter, etc., *and* Kexi could
all co-exist in their respective newest versions.
