Bug#655382: libqt4-dbus has circular Depends on qdbus
I think I encountered this bug as well on an amd64 system. It seems that the
multiarch configuration adds to the complexity because it complains to me about
dependency differences between i386 and amd64.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a
solution).
With the workaround in #10 I could configure qdbus
robert@glimsplace:~$ sudo apt-cache policy qdbus
qdbus:
Installed: 4:4.8.2-2+b1
Candidate: 4:4.8.2-2+b1
Version table:
*** 4:4.8.2-2+b1 0
500 http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
However I'm stuck for the other ones.
I would like to know if I can further help, and I'm also looking for a
workaround.
Cheers,
Robert
