    Please, if you use unstable read manpages, read the BTS and search the
    listarchive of different lists.

    man apt-get
    Read about the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade. Read in the
    list archive, especially about KDE 3.3.

    I'm sure, you'll find something about that in the BTS and in the list
    archive. If something like that happens again and you can't find it in
    the BTS, get familar with the reportbug.

    And if you are looking for right in time solution for this, look at the
    manpage of dpkg, search for force, and you'll find the "dirty little
    hack" which will solve this problem, till the maintainers fixe their
    packages.

    Yours sincerely,
      Alexander
