Tom,
I was away but I have done as you suggested and here is the output:

______________________________________________________-
As you can see it won't work or install the packages.

@Ralf: no, contrary to your suggestion I have never updated from an 
unofficial ubuntu source. I have installed some KDE packages as they 
gave me possibilities I needed which were not available from gnome.
It is becoming a nightmare as removing libkolabxml1 is not possible 
(gives the same errors) and I don't know what happens if I try to remove 
libstdc++6.
