Have I screwed-up apt-get?

[Bob_Ullet]

I am running Knoppix 3.2 and have taken all the updates. I was trying to install Knode using "apt-get install knode/unstable". It appears that it wanted to replace some newer files with older ones, but I don't think that has happened. Now, when I try to "apt-get install [anypackage] it indicates that package "libxcursor-dev" cannot be installed that I first should try "apt-get -f install". I try this but it then gives me an error message. What can I do to clear up this problem? My "apt-get update" still works. I have given up on trying to install Knode. I just want to clear out the slate. Help
