problems with apt-get

[rozen]

I am in the process of moving from Mandrake 9.2 to Knoppix-Debian and it is a struggle.

I am using the /etc/apt/sources.list that was installed on my hard disk. For some reason, Kworldclock was not installed. So I entered the command:

apt-get install kdetoys

it installed kworldclock as desired but there was a problem with kdelib4.

Now whenever I execute the command:

apt-get upgrade

I get the response:

Bash ajax rozen [~] ->sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-data (= 4:3.1.4-2) but 4:3.1.3-1 is installed
libqt3-mt-dev: Depends: libxcursor-dev but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

How do I move on so that I can continue to use apt-get to do upgrades for me?

First cd /var/cache/apt/archives then as root dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.4-2_all.deb libxcursor-dev_1.0.2-2_i386.deb. BTW this has been asked and answered a few times already a quick search would have led to the solution.
