Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
okular : Depends: libokularcore5 (= 4:4.14.2-2) but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: kde-runtime (> 4:4.10) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libphonon4 (>= 4:4.6.0really4.3.80) but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: phonon but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I run "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" and see nothing.
for instance attempting "apt-get install bluedevil" yields:

weird how kde-runtime is involved. attempting to install it yields
another bouquet of "depends ... not going to be installed; you have
held broken packages" messages.

I've enjoyed just about as much of this as I can stand.

That sounds like one of the GTK engines might be causing problems. When
you run evince under TDE from a terminal what does it spew?

It means you are using the packages from the development branch, I
suspect Slavek's repository.
One way is to switch to the official TDE R14.0.0 packages (you can find
instruction on the wiki), or if you are not going to upgrade that system
for a while, you can just stick with what you have. R14.0.1
(development) so far has a few fixes over R14.0.0 already commited, so
they wouldn't harm your installation.

I think I'm asking the wrong question. to be sure, I don't know how I
got into the Development branch but the real issue is I'm having
trouble with several programs.
let me mention the issues; perhaps there's some general approach to
them. I'm reluctant to spin off more threads though; I've taken up
too much time as it is.
a) can't start evince except by exporting XAUTHORITY and running it as
root. (and I hate the interface!) b) cannot
install okular without massive dependencies or backpedalling
this or that systemd files or other bits of intestines.
IIRC okular will have many dependencies due to being a KDE application;
this is normal-ish? c) can't
install bluetooth utilities on the laptop that has it.
Terminal output would be helpful here too. :-)
