Yep, that's the usual expected problem here; the trick is figuring out
which packages are the ones with the version mismatch.

The reason this crops up with the symptom that it does is, as far as I
can tell, that apt will basically never consider downgrading one package
in order to install or upgrade another. (aptitude might, in the right
circumstances, but whether that will ever be the first proposed
dependency solution I don't know.)

I'm glad I was able to point you in the right direction!
