Frankly, I always just wait a bit until the situation resolves itself.
;-) It almost always does, even in sid/unstable. Sounds silly, but
debian-user is a huge-volume list and I haven't resubscribed because I'm
on dial-up. You can, however, search the mailing list archives at:

http://lists.debian.org/users.html

Either debian-kde or debian-user would be a good place to start.

Generally, you can just look at a metapackage with `dpkg -p kdebase` and
install all the packages in the Depends: line, omitting the offending
package. Metapackages have no binaries themselves, they only exist to
depend on packages that do, so standard packages should not themselves
depend on metapackages.
