You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.2.2-2) but 4:3.1.4-3 is to be installed
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.2.1) but 4:3.1.4-3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
knoppix@box:~$ sudo apt-get install kdelibs kdelibs-data

Hey man, I really feel for you!
This happened to me, and I had to reinstall from the knoppix CD. see http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...578&highlight=
I haven't tried out the solution mooted in this thread so I'm not sure if it would work.
Fortunately I had a seperate partition onto which I had mounted /home and copies of some key configuration files. Oh, and the /var/cache/apt/archives/.
So reinstalling was comparatively painless.

Now i just want to totally uninstall kde and all it's accessories so i'll at least be abnle to install things again.. how do i do that?

First, you need to remove the broken package so that apt-get will work. Start by opening a console as root and type:
Code:
dpkg --purge kdelibs-data kdelibs4
This will remove all of kde, not to mention the broken packages and it's configuration files unless you were prudent enough to backup your configuration files in your home directory. Once done, you can try Followed with a simulation for a base KDE install:
Code:
apt-get -s install -t unstable kde-core
If the output looks good, then remove the -s and let it go thru. If you rather have all of KDE, do this
Code:
apt-get -s install -t unstable kde
Remove the -s if the output looks good. In the future, you might want to use the -s switch with apt-get to make sure the new/upgraded packages won't break something before committing to the act.
HTH,
Durand
