Did you downgrade from unstable to testing at some point? All of those packages that are at 4:3.2.3-1 are only at 4:3.2.2-1 in testing right now, so I don't know where you are getting them from. It seems that the source of your problem is having newer versions of the packages kdebase-dev and kdelibs-dev depend on already installed. Josh
