Care to tell us what you did to make it want to downgrade?
Also what do you have in /etc/apt/apt.conf and sources.list?

i did not do anything .... I installed a few video-audio plugins from synaptic and next time i did an update and then upgrade asked me to downgrade all these or not.
this is my sources list. It is the default.

Knoppix is a mix of testing, unstable and even stable I think.
If you remember which packages you got with synaptic you could check from which tree they were with: apt-cache policy packagename
Looks to me like you got some from testing and now it wants to downgrade the ones depending on them also to testing.
What happens with: apt-get -s -t unstable install packagename_you_installed and_another_one

I'd say that the testing there is why your getting testing packages unless you specify unstable.
Did you tell synaptic to get from unstable?
I don't suppose downgrading the packages will do much harm, but then again, I have never downgraded as I run a pure unstable so I can't tell for sure.

so if i just replace the word testing with unstable everything will be fine ?
i did not specify from where to download the plugins ...

Don't know about fine but at least you'll be getting packages from one branch only which will make life a lot easier.
What will happen is that it's going to upgrade the whole system to unstable so you'll probably want to check commands like
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/package.......deb
A shorter way to do this would be a dist-upgrade but from what I've read, others have had lots of problems with that command.
FWIW you might want to repeat the -t unstable install with the other packages as well or at least check them with policy to find out whats downgrading your system.

but i had installed and i have been with Sid unstable. HOw did it become "testing" ?

Hmm, what did you install?
Knoppix is not pure sid. It's as said, a mix of sid, sarge and I think even woody.
