there's an implicit package conflict (both "pd-extended" and "cyclist" try to install the same file and you try to install both packages at the same time). usually, this is handled by marking the two packages to conflict with each other (make them mutually exclusive), or rather: mark one of the packages conflict with the other.
it seems that the pdx package does not have such a conflicts line, which i guess is a bug.
in the meantime, you can simply manually remove the "cyclist" package and install pdx only after that.
I've just uploaded all of the pd-extended 0.43.4 packages to apt.puredata.info and signed them, so you should be getting an update and it should no longer have either the "without verification" question or the conflict with 'cyclist'.
