    I just reinstalled unstable and got similar problems.
    kdelibs4 depends of libcupsys2 and gnome/cupsys/a whole load more depend
    on libcupsys2-gnutls10 (or something similar) which conflict.
    This also has the effect that kdelibs-dev cannot be installed as it
    ends up depending on both conflicting libraries...
    The bug was reported a few days ago so should get fixed soon, in the
    meantime I compiled kdelibs myself using the latest libcupsys-dev.
    (on another note, gnome is broken for installation at the moment, but I
    think that's due to it being upgraded to 2.6 and not all the packages
    being uploaded yet)

    Its a bit of a pain, but hey, its in unstable and I'm not paying for it
    so I can't really complain can I :-)
