I'm trying to install Mint KDE alongside Gnome so I figured I'd just install mint-meta-kde. I get an error saying
mint-meta-kde:
Depends: openoffice.org-kde but it is not going to be installed
Depends: openoffice.org-kab but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kio-sysinfo but it is not going to be installed
I tried installing kio-sysinfo separately and got
kio-sysinfo:
Depends: kdebase-runtime (>=4:4.2.4) but 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
Depends: kdelibs5 (>=4:4.2.4) but 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu5 is to be installed
What am I supposed to do now?

the problem is that your gnome mint /etc/apt/sources.list is not the same as the kde mint sources list.
I can not access one atm so hopefully someone else may post the kde one.
there are ppa repo keys to add too.

I remember adding the repos successfully but it turned out mint-kde-artwork was in conflict with mint-gnome-artwork. KDE installed (with all the apps) but not with the appropriate Mint-KDE theme.
I got the repos added but I'm still getting an error about open office.

If I try to manually install openoffice.org-kde I get this error.
openoffice.org-kde:
Depends: openoffice.org-core but it is not going to be installed
openoffice.org-core is already installed so I'm not sure what that's about. Is there some way to just install Mint KDE without all the applications? I'm fine with the ones I have now.
Installing metapackages can easily become a nightmare like this. Why do you need to install the metapackages? Is there a specific reason, or is there another way for you to accomplish your goal?
