Your bug report indicated that

ersions of packages ibus recommends:
ii  ibus-clutter           <none>
ii  ibus-gtk               <none>
ii  ibus-gtk3              1.4.0-3
ii  ibus-qt4               <none>
ii  im-config [im-switch]  0.7

But you do noy have ibus-gtk  and ibus-qt4 in the sane situation.  Why
they have no version????

Something strange is here.  They are ii.
