Hi,

I typed the command:
apt-get upgrade

It downloaded many many libs and installed them....
but it had en error in kdelibs-data

since then, i can't execute nothing in my kde, and i can not use apt-get again... i tried to fix a few things but i made things much worse.
not even apt-get -f install ... nothing....it is all ruined...

Any ideas how can i fix my knoppix installation?

Thanks, Yoni.

Give us the error output...most likely just needs an overwrite of a file though.

Yes, I did the same thing with the same resullt. I had to reinstall to correct. Maybe somebody has a better solution.

Try dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.2-2_i386.deb
where the red is the kdelibs-data part.
