task-kde-desktop depends on kde-standard which depends on plasma-desktop which depends on kde-baseapps which depends on konqueror which depends on tons of difficult to understand seemingly outdated dependencies.
The upgrade is very difficult In fact I give up the upgrade altogether. I'll have to come to it through another angle: There are tons of packages which I deem old and unnecessary, and I find no simple way not to install them. And there is no simple way not to install konqueror. Chris PS: Also aptitude put all automatically installed packages to satisfy dependencies in manually installed: hundreds of them. It is a very difficult upgrade.
