The problem with the koffice 1.6 packages looks to be that a file has
been migrated from krita-data to krita (or vice versa) and so it's
complaining about not being able to overwrite it and then has problems
with the dependencies. Doing:
sudo apt-get -f upgrade
from the command line fixed it for me.
