the uninstall of kdelibs-data fails with the same error (see below). My intuition is telling me "abort!". could you describe how to back the trinity install out ? $sudo apt-get remove kdelibs-data [sudo] password for bloring: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: k3b-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (>= 4:3.1.4-2) but it is not going to be installed kdelibs4c2a: Depends: kdelibs-data (> 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1) Depends: kdelibs-data (< 4:3.5.10.dfsg.2) kdelibs4c2a-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (> 4:3.5.12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (< 4:3.5.13) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
