Because kde is a meta package that is not really needed and is at an older version than what you are installing. The kdepim is a meta package as well so is not really needed and apt thinks you are using the testing/sarge branch thus wants to uninstall it. The other two are old versions that no longer in the archive and will be replaced by packages that you are installing now because the names have changed. You will have to figure out the new name of the -dev package it does not seem to exist at all. >$ apt-cache policy kde kde: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:3.1.2 Version Table: 4:3.1.2 0 600 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages >$ apt-cache policy kdepim kdepim: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:3.2.2-2 Version Table: 4:3.3.0-2 0 600 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages 4:3.2.2-2 0 990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages >$ apt-cache policy kdepim-libs kdepim-libs: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version Table: >$ apt-cache policy libkdenetwork2-dev libkdenetwork2-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version Table: >$ apt-cache policy libkdenetwork2 libkdenetwork2: Installed: 4:3.3.0-2 Candidate: 4:3.3.0-2 Version Table: *** 4:3.3.0-2 0 600 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4:3.2.2-2 0 990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages >$ apt-cache search libkdenetwork2 libkdenetwork2 - KDE Network library >$ apt-cache show kdepim Package: kdepim Priority: optional Section: kde Installed-Size: 32 Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 4:3.3.0-2 Depends: kaddressbook (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kalarm (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kandy (>= 4:3.3.0-2), karm (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kdepim-kfile-plugins (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kdepim-kio-plugins(>= 4:3.3.0-2), kdepim-wizards (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kitchensync (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kleopatra (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kmail (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kmailcvt (>= 4:3.3.0-2), knode (>= 4:3.3.0-2), knotes (>= 4:3.3.0-2), konsolekalendar (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kontact (>= 4:3.3.0-2), korganizer (>= 4:3.3.0-2), korn (>= 4:3.3.0-2), kpilot (>= 4:3.3.0-2),ksync (>= 4:3.3.0-2), ktnef (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkcal2 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkdenetwork2 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkdepim1 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkgantt0 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkleopatra0 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkpimexchange1 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libkpimidentities1 (>=4:3.3.0-2), libksieve0 (>= 4:3.3.0-2), libmimelib1 (>= 4:3.3.0-2) Suggests: kdepim-doc-html Filename: pool/main/k/kdepim/kdepim_3.3.0-2_all.deb Size: 5844 MD5sum: 19483592054df9d5538ad9d4ed80748f Description: KDE Personal Information Management metapackage kdepim is a collection of Personal Information Management (PIM) tools for the K Desktop Enviromnent (KDE). .
