Yes. Stable doesn't have kdelibs4c2*. How have you obtained these 
packages? Open your /etc/apt/sources.list and check that there are only 
stable repositories.
For "archives" I mean mailing list archives.. I just would like to be 
more clear..

If this CAD is opensource you can rebuild the package against 
kdelibs4c2. But it's worth the time? It's a version that is discarded in 
favour of the c2a version for many reasons.
