Help! Synaptic broke my menus and lots of KDE stuff
NOTE: running Knoppix 3.3 hd-install
I recently tried to install an app (Apollon, a file sharing app) using Synaptic. Synaptic was able to download all of the necessary packages (though this took two tries, not sure why), but 15 out of I think 67 of the total installed or upgraded packages refused to install. KDE seems to be the promarily affected system, all of the standard application menus have disappeared, Konqueror no longer launches from the panel (although I can start it from command line), Kate lost my syntax highlighting settings, and Konsole freezes up immediately.
Synaptic also crashes on startup, so I fell back to using apt-get from the command line. Running apt-get check gives the following results:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.2.1) but 4:3.1.4-3 is installed
libice-dev: Depends: libice6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libsm-dev: Depends: libsm6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libx11-dev: Depends: libx11-6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxext-dev: Depends: libxext6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxi-dev: Depends: libxi6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed

libxpm-dev: Depends: libxpm4 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4)
libxrandr-dev: Depends: libxrandr2 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxt-dev: Depends: libxt6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxtrap-dev: Depends: libxtrap6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxtst-dev: Depends: libxtst6 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
libxv-dev: Depends: libxv1 (= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Running apt-get -f install to attempt to correct these errors gives the following:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any apt-get experts know why these pacakge updates are failing?
I'm running apt-get from X Windows, could this be a problem?
Also, assuming I can get these packages correctly installed, any ideas whether my menus will be restored or, what I might have to do to fix them?
Thanks.
