It would appear that during the upgrade libnepomukcleaner4 becomes an obsoleted package, but does not remove itself from the DPKG status list.

libnepomukcore4abi1 is a dependancy of this library and nepomuk-common which is upgraded at the same time, they both have different versions of libnepomukcore4abi1 so an error is produced.

A workaround is to do:
dpkg --purge libnepomukcleaner4
