    needed help for programs dependencies, thanks

    Hi, I'm using knoppix ver 3.2 and I got some problems with the command apt-get; I would like to install some programs, ex Celestia, so I give the commend apt-get -f install celestia but the output is the following:


    root@Rigel:/home/kappe# apt-get -f install celestia
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done

    The following extra packages will be installed:
    gnome-bin gnome-libs-data gtkglarea5 libart2 libgnome32 libgnomesupport0
    libgnomeui32 libgnorba27 libgnorbagtk0 liborbit0

    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    abiword aumix-gtk bluefish celestia-common celestia-glut ethereal freeciv
    freeciv-client-gtk gaim gconf2 gksu gliv gnomemeeting gnumeric gpa gtkam
    jumpnbump libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libgal2.0-2 libgconf2-4
    libglade2-0 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomecanvas2-0
    libgnomeprintui2.2-0 libgnomeui-0 libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common
    libgsf-gnome-1 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-common libgtkglext1 libgtkspell0
    libgucharmap0 mozilla mozilla-browser mozilla-locale-de-at mozilla-mailnews
    mozilla-psm mozilla-xft mozilla-xmlterm nvtv python-glade2 python-gtk2
    python2.2-glade2 python2.2-gtk2 sndconfig sodipodi xchat
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    celestia gnome-bin gnome-libs-data gtkglarea5 libart2 libgnome32
    libgnomesupport0 libgnomeui32 libgnorba27 libgnorbagtk0 liborbit0
    0 packages upgraded, 11 newly installed, 50 to remove and 152 not upgraded.
    Need to get 12.4MB of archives. After unpacking 106MB will be freed.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

    Why should I delete so many packages to install only 11?
    And if I try to install a KDE app. like quanta or kolf, kmoon...the message is the following:

    Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
    quanta: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not going to be installed
    E: Sorry, broken packages

    What does it mean? Maybe cause I made an apt-get -f dist-upgrade before installing other applications that can't run under the new (developing I suppose) configuration?
    Sorry for the lenght, but I really don't know what have I to do.
    Any help would be very appreciated, thanks!!!!

    Did you comment out any of the lines from your sources list? I did a hard drive install and commented out everything but the unstable lines and did a dist-upgrade and celestia installs fine for me. I think you may have caused some problems by dist-upgrading with multiple sources.
