Hi! This error is - as far as I know - often caused by the fact, that, when there is a new kde version, sometimes some libs get packaged into another package than before. When this problem appeared, I've always done the following:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg -i --force-all <package file> for every package file which cannot be installed. The package file names are sometimes quite complicated; you can either complete the file names by pressing <tab> or do something like: dpkg -i --force-all kdelibs*3.1.1*deb (in your case) (You should also do an dpkg -i kdelibs*3.1.1*deb directly afterwards to ensure that everything is installed correctly. dpkg shouldn't print out any errors now.) Then re-run apt-get and look if the errors are gone. If other packages cause similar errors, do the same for these packages. At the end, everything should be fine without re-installation. Dselect should not cause the system to install the packages in a better way, because the errors come from dpkg, and both apt and dselect only call dpkg for installing packages, as far as I'm informed.
