Unfortunately, apt-get is a very stupid program in many ways.
I had posted a "HOWTO install XFree 4.3 and kdelib4-dev" some weeks ago,
you may want to check the debian-knoppix archives for this.
If there is a way to automatically fix the wrong dependencies from
apt-get without breaking stuff, I have missed it.
