time_t 64 and KDE



Hello!

I know this list is KDE related but I'm pretty sure someone else is suffering the same problems with the ongoing time_t 64 and KDE transition in sid.

When I do an apt upgrade I get:

(...)
15 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 466 not upgraded.

If I issue a dist-upgrade:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
plasma-workspace : Depends: gdb-minimal but it is not going to be installed or
                            gdb
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.


The interesting thing is GDB is installed:

gdb:
 Installed: 13.2-1
 Candidate: 13.2-1
 Version table:
*** 13.2-1 500
       500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


If I issue a dist-upgrade gdb I get:

(...)
452 upgraded, 167 newly installed, 236 to remove and 13 not upgraded.

And in those 236 packages to remove are a LOT of KDE / Plasma / Qt packages... Also in the "
automatically installed and are no longer required" packages there are many KDE programs and a lot of libraries that I feel are important to boot a KDE system.


The main issue is the system is barely usable now. For example I don't know why but the latest kernels were installed without sources, and I need them to run and compile things (like virtualbox). But I can't install kernel sources without uninstalling hundreds of (needed) packages. The same occurs if I try to install any other package.

Sid has been in this state for at least a pair of weeks for me...

Is there anything I can do? Waiting for another pair of weeks?

Thanks in advance.
