    OK, this is good -- it at least knows that it should be able to
    install 4:3.3.2-1.

    Someone else would have to answer that -- I've only used dselect when
    absolutely necessary, and then I tend to flail around a bit.

    Forcing probably isn't a good idea unless all other options are exhausted.

    Is this essentially the same error message as you originally posted?
    If it's reasonably short, please post it. You *might* be able to
    apt-get install kdelibs-bin kdelibs4

    It's possible that something is preventing kdelibs4 from upgrading. You can try
    apt-get install kdelibs4=4:3.3.2-1
    and see what dependency conflicts arise from that. If apt is just
    confused, that might (though probably won't) fix everything.
