KVim can't install before update vim

Code:

xxx:~ apt-get install kvim
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kvim: Depends: vim (= 1:6.2-426+1) but 1:6.3-068+4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

um... Dose the KVim have many bugs? When i was using kvim and selected font, the windows has collapsed(auto resize itself). I wanna find several reason to make me to use KVim... Now, I am using gvim(vim-gtk). It's fine and nice.

kvim isn't being developed anymore due to numerous problems, try looking into yzis ( http://www.yzis.org/ ). its a project by the developers of kvim and gvim.

@_@, KVim is a important software on debian, why doesn't they debug it???!!

it can't be that important to debian, take a look at /usr/share/doc/vim/NEWS.Debian.gz.

the yzis home contains some more reasons why kvim was dropped.
