What happens if you purge kdepim-dev, then try apt-get -f install?
Don't press y!

what is output of:

apt-cache policy kdepim-dev
apt-cache policy kode
cat /etc/apt/sources.lst
ls -al /etc/apt/
ls -al /etc/apt/*d/

1. I ran the autoremove since that was suggested after I ran "apt-get -f install".
It would appear that it is a never-ending loop of poor suggestions to resolving the problem.

2. I'm from RedHat and rpm so I'm still trying to get a grip on apt while having a workable system.

3. Thanks for taking a look. REally I just want to set up subversion and make sure my cold backup


*** will work anywhere. I'd hate to lose 4 years and 5Gb of version control.

should be /etc/apt/sources.list

it appears to me that purging "kdepim-dev" and reinstall it afterwards
might be a solution.
and what's the output if u run "apt-get autoremove" without "-f"?

btw, i'd recommand aptitude over apt-get.


Cheers,
