I made my comment because I tried removing akonadi once, because nothing that it indexes matters to me. The updates kept trying to put it back.
I finally decided to just pretend that it doesn't exist, since I don't use the KDE desktop nor any of the applications the akonadi indexes for (though I use a lot of KDE applications). (Akonadi and the constant nagging from kwallet are the reaons I don't use Kmail, though it's a perfectly adequate mail client.)
...Run this as root; it will report only the packages that couldn't be found. Normally it will only list the ones you have blacklisted (official packages):
Code:
cat /var/lib/slackpkg/pkglist | cut -d' ' -f6 | sed 's/+/[+]/g' | while read line; do if slackpkg search $line | grep 'No package name matches the pattern' &>/dev/null; then echo $line; fi; done

Your reasons are probably similar to mine. I use very few KDE programs, Mahjongg for the Wifey is about it.
No point to change the mirror. As ruario said, this was all due to the fact you had calligra blacklisted, so slackpkg was ignoring it. Btw if you don't use slackpkg install-new, I don't see the point having it blacklisted. Anyway, I'm glad you got this sorted out ;-)
