hmm ... perhaps you do not have the necessary libs installed for kcalc
and they need to be brought in. But I do not understand the need to get
gstreamer though. Do the following:
$> sudo aptitude update
$> sudo aptutude -f install

and show what the output is.

Next, try:
$> sudo aptitude why gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
$> sudo aptitude why libgvfscommon0

'why' should tell why a particular should be installed. And show the output.

As a reference, on a Hardy system which doesn't have KDE on it, I get this:
~$ sudo aptitude -s install kcalc

The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
  kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a libakode2 libarts1-akode libarts1c2a
libavahi-qt3-1 libgmp3c2 liblua50 liblualib50 libqt3-mt
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kcalc kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a libakode2 libarts1-akode libarts1c2a

Need to get 22.3MB of archives. After unpacking 73.7MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
Would download/install/remove packages.


And all this makes sense, they are all KDE related.
