I really shouldn't work when I'm so tired - sorry.  I read that as 'older than 
3.5.7'.  I did realise, though, that your comment about mis-match still 
stood.

I can't understand how it did happen.  I do believe it is down to broken 
mirrors, but as you say, the whole installation should have been blocked if 
the dependencies were not adequately resolved.  Anyway, the upshot is that I 
removed all the mirrors and set up a new lot.  I then installed 
kdelibs-common 3.5.9, and my addressbook works perfectly again.  Thanks for 
pointing me in the right direction.
