Thank you for your post it worked a treat. In case someone else has this problem I used (I think) the 3rd option from "aptitude install cpp/testing g++/testing gcc/testing gcc-5-base/testing" which was: The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) cpp-5 2) gcc-5 3) libasan2 4) libcc1-0 5) libgcc-5-dev 6) libmpx0 Downgrade the following packages: 7) gcc [4:5.2.1-2 (now, unstable) -> 4:4.9.2-4 (testing)] 8) gcc-5-base:i386 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 9) libatomic1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 10) libcilkrts5 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 11) libgcc1 [1:5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 1:5.1.1-14 (testing)] 12) libgcc1:i386 [1:5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 1:5.1.1-14 (testing)] 13) libgfortran3 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 14) libgomp1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 15) libicu52 [52.1-11 (now, unstable) -> 52.1-10 (testing)] 16) libitm1 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 17) liblsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 18) libobjc4 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 19) libquadmath0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 20) libstdc++6 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 21) libtsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] 22) libubsan0 [5.2.1-14 (now, unstable) -> 5.1.1-14 (testing)] Also I needed the 4th option from "aptitude install kontact" which was: The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) kdepim-doc 2) ktnef Downgrade the following packages: 3) libfollowupreminder4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] 4) libkdgantt2-0 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] 5) libkmanagesieve4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] 6) libkpgp4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] 7) libksieve4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] 8) libsendlater4 [4:4.14.5-1 (experimental, now) -> 4:4.14.2-2 (unstable)] In addition I had to install knode so that newsgroups could be found in Kontact.
