apt-get -f install = just says that everything is installed and
configured.  The rest of the information above explains why when I try
to specifically "apt-get install libcupsys2-gnutls10" it wants to hose KDE.

Cool - would you believe I've been using Debian for 4 years and this is
the first time I've needed to roll anything back; I didn't know
"snapshot" existed!  Anyway, I grabbed the last working version
(1.1.20final-16) of all the cupsys stuff, "dpkg -i *cups*.deb" and
voila!  You're a life saver - thank you!!

Many thanks,
