Do "aptitude install cpp/testing g++/testing gcc/testing gcc-5-base/testing" and let aptitude offer suggestions until you get a good offer. The problem is the installation/transition to gcc5 which started recently and you need to downgrade various package to their pre-gcc5 versions. After that you should be able to re-install kontact again. I'm not very familiar with "apt-get dist-upgrade", but aptitude safe/full- upgrade will tell you when it wants to remove a (whole) bunch of packages ...
