centericq-common is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4: Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.1.4-3)
Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.1.4-1) but 4:3.1.2-2.1 is to be installed
kdelibs4-dev: Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.1.4-3)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
root@Eguks:/home/eguks#


i have tried some apt-get -f upgrade before, so now even what was right, isn't working
Much better now I can see what is going on. It is telling you that the centericq-common already is installed at the latest version for testing which is the default release for Knoppix. To solve the KDE problem you need to install the latest versions of the programs it wants so apt-get -s install kdelibs-data kdelibs-bin if it looks good remove the -s to install you may have to use kdelibs-data/unstable and the same on the end of the -bin in the install line. Can you post the output of apt-cache policy libxcursor-dev the centericq and centericq-common as well.
