Ok, I commented out the kde site and added the two you list above. I did 
an update and then tried to install kdebase again. The only dependency 
it threw at me this time was ksysgaurd.

  kdebase: Depends: ksysguard (>= 4:3.1.3-1) but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Broken packages

When I try to install that package I get that it could not find the 
package ksysgaurd.

Any ideas?

Thanks
