It is not trying to install experimental versions. It is trying to
*UPGRADE* from Experimental Versions which are not supported.

apt-get remove --purge $(dpkg -l | grep texlive | cut -f3 -d\ )
If that fails, try that:
dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -f3 -d\ )
If that fails, we need more info.
