You seem to be one of the few that constantly has "dependency hell". If
you are using other then the repos configured at install time by default
you bring this on yourself.

You constantly bitch about KDE 4.x not being ready but continue to use it
when 3.x is still available and stable.

I don't think you have as much choice with *buntu either.
