Not on _my_ system, which suggests that you both need to upgrade
kaddressbook.  I have the full range of kdepim software installed
(4:3.5.0-0ubuntu2 from dapper)- except kleopatra (hmm - I think I need
that), kitchensync, kmailcvt, konsolekalendar, korn and libkgantt0, and
nothing requires libgnokii2.  If I do "aptitude install kdepim" it still
doesn't try to install libgnokii2.

My suspicion is that you need a lot more than breezy "universe" - like
breezy-updates.
