    The following packages will be REMOVED

    Whenever I try to apt-get a kde-program it tells me its going to get rid of the following

    Code:
     gambas gambas-gb-qt gambas-gb-qt-editor gambas-gb-qt-ext isdn-config jackd kasablanca kdar kdelibs4 kgpgcertmanager kpaint krecord libarts1
      libid3-3.8.3 libkcal2a libkdenetwork2 libkdepim1 libkexif0 libkipi0 libmimelib1a libopenexr2 libqt3-dev libqt3c102-mt libtag1 libtse3-0.2.7 noteedit
      noteedit-data rosegarden4 rt2500 skype
    Why must gambas, isdn-config, skype & my wlan card tool die to install the latest version of k3b? can I have them removed and then later install them again or will it then want to delete the latest version of kde that k3b wants to install aswell?

    Your biggest problem is apt wanting to remove kdelibs4.
    That will leave your system completely broken.

    You may want to post your /etc/apt/sources.list file.

    Also, what is the output of this command:

    Code:
    # apt-get -f install
    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

    The only problems I see from that output is that you have two sources listed that are not being properly archived so that apt can't access the packages they contain.

    W: Couldn't stat source package list ftp://ftp.nerim.net unstable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.nerim.net_debian-marillat_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
    W: Couldn't stat source package list http://cgi.sfu.ca ./. Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/cgi.sfu.ca_%7ejdbates_debian_dists_._._binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)


    This is generally fixed with the following:
    # apt-get update

    However, if you still have problems then comment out those repos:

    #deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

    #deb http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/ . .
    #deb-src http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/ . .


    Now run your apt commands again:
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get -f install
    # apt-get upgrade
    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
