Apt-get problem ?

[Jim Taylor]

I am running KDE 3.2.2-1  and the current version of GIMP is 2.0.1-2 with an 
upgraded version to 2.0.5-1 available, not installed.
Everything is 2.0.1-2 with 
help-common 2+0.4-1 and 
manual 1.0.0-5 and no other versions shown in kpakage,
If I attempt to install the KDE upgrade (test) i get the same problem with
kdelibs-data anf Kong.
