I'm not an expert, but have you checked to make sure that you have all of the repos enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list?

If not, if you could post the contents of that file so that we can make sure you have the right repos enabled?

Also, I'd suggest that you make sure you execute: "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" and ensure that your system is up to date before you try to install KDE. NOTE: This will upgrade/update packages on your system.

Let us know how that goes, and if it doesn't work, we can look into next steps.

Thanks,
Jason

did you added
to your sourcelist, in order to install kde4?
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Take a look at

Thanks guys but I fixed it. Some how all of my repositories got disabled so I reenabled them and it worked out great. KDE 4 looks great BTW.
