Here's the problem with apt-get commands after updating:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.3.2-7) but 4:3.3.2-6.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
I hacked around this problem by editing the kdelibs entry in
/var/lib/dpkg/status so that...
Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.3.2-6)
^^^
...which was:
* quick, only one entry needed to be changed
* easy, as in keeping the system happy with an existing situation
vs. forcing the system to do something it doesn't want to do
* automatically reversed, when the new kdelibs got installed
Generally, one does not want to manually edit the status file.
However, if the required hack is "quick", "easy" and a one-time thing
<shrug> why not, eh.
