You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kdepim: Depends: kdepim-kio-plugins (>= 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3) but
4:3.3.2-1ubuntu3 is installed
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: kdm but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Besides this thing, after upgrading I can't use gnome anymore, as soon
as I log with gdm, it stops in a gray screen and stays this way until
I ctrl+alt+backspace and loig into kde (which I'm using by now).


Thanks for your attention,
