Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
k3b: Depends: libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) but 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13 is to be installed
Depends: libk3b2 (>= 0.12.17) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libmusicbrainz4c2a (>= 2.1.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
Simple: these packages are not available from the repositories you use. Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list? Otherwise, add the contrib and/or non-free branches to the list.
Code:
deb ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.XX.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
Replace the XX with the 2-letter country designation for the nearest mirror to you.
Thanks for the quick reply. I just added the two lines but it still does not work :-

Never mind, you're not the only one :-\ I've overlooked that in your first listing it mentions something about Testing. So change the referrals in those lines from stable to testing.

Should I try with free.
Try apt-get dist-upgrade I don't hold much hope of it continuing to be a stable system having started with Knoppix for the base.
