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:

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

Running apt-get -f install to attempt to correct these errors gives the following:

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.
