[Bug 354927] Re: kdelibs-bin says it has a dependency which is only available in backports

I believe I'm having the same/similar problem. Adept fired up suggesting
I uninstall some kde packages. Thinking they would be replaced with new
ones, I clicked 'apply' and it subsequently uninstalled itself and most
of my kde installation (konqueror, dolphin, kdelibs, etc). Similar
problem when trying to reinstall:


root at amaterasu:/etc# apt-get install kubuntu-desktop                                   
Reading package lists... Done                                                          
Building dependency tree                                                               
Reading state information... Done                                                      
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have                      
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable                     
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created                     
or been moved out of Incoming.                                                         

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against         
that package should be filed.                                          
The following information may help to resolve the situation:           

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: kde-window-manager but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: kdebase-workspace-bin but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: ksysguard but it is not going to be installed            
                   Recommends: kate but it is not going to be installed              
                   Recommends: kdebase-plasma but it is not going to be installed    
                   Recommends: kdebluetooth but it is not going to be installed      
                   Recommends: kdeplasma-addons but it is not going to be installed  
                   Recommends: openoffice.org-kde but it is not going to be installed
                   Recommends: plasmoid-quickaccess but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
