Hi all,
fixed and successfully dist-upgraded.
It was a 'simple' process of uninstalling the 'outdated' kdepim and associated packages, using
apt-get remove --purge "name of package"
- akonadiconsole
- kmail
- korganizer
- kaddressbook
- kontact
Once done, then I simply did an update / dist-upgrade.
Reinstalled the kdepim packages.
All good now.
Here I was thinking I'd have to chase down individual dependencies....
My thanks to all who have offered advice.
I did this, but it didn't work:
# apt install kalarm
Reading package lists... 100%
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

Can anybody direct me to what I could do next, or do I just have to wait, and it will come right eventually?
