Are you aware that you're installing kde-3.3 beta (do you have suse-people in sources.list file)? The beta (those rpm) seem to do fine on my 9.1 system. Yes, I wanted to give these beta packages a try.
See what you get if you install 1 of the kept back packages: # apt -s install kdelibs3 As you mention below, it asks for the libjasper package.
Most likely it will tell you that libjasper is not provided in the right version. Get it from http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/people/adrian/4Bos/9.1-i386/ (he that means that it is now part of the apt repository.... and that's right, but it removes ImageMagick) I get ImageMagick listed as a conflict. Trying to remove ImageMagick with 'apt remove ImageMagick' to temporarily get these packages installed causes several others I like/use to be removed as well:
The following packages will be REMOVED: ImageMagick ImageMagick-Magick++ ImageMagick-devel abiword kbarcode mozplugger pixieplus
Try the same with e.g. kdepim3.

Install with --force-rpm. For the above that does not seem to be a problem.
Can't seem to find exactly how this option is used. Something like apt- get dist-upgrade --force-rpm doesn't seem right. <snip>
It's all beta stuff, so I don't think it is a problem to have those installed with apt --force-rpm. (it's actually /bin/rpm that complains here)
So I guess the question is can I get the beta packages for KDE installed (is it complete yet?) and still have Abiword and PixiePlus available? If so, how?
