Hi,
I'm new to Debian. I set up my system by installing Knoppix 3.3 to my hard drive. Upon discovering that there are no screen savers in my installation, I decided to "apt-get install kscreensaver", using the KPackage utility. apt-get found another dozen or so dependencies, which I told it to install. Evidently there is a problem with one of them. I ran apt-get -f install in a terminal to try to fix the problem. Here is the output:

This has made a mess of my system because many of the K* programs won't work. I though about deleting the /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_4%3a3.2.2-2_all.deb file, but since I don't know what I'm doing at this point, it seems better to ask.
Thanks, Mike
