Bug Description

I was trying to install KDE4 for the 1st time, today, and got the following errors (see below)
Im using Kubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) on an AMD64 dual core machine.
Repository used to fetch packages: "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse"
kde4 (3.2~gutsy1)

PS: I saw the other bug report related to this one, (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde4/+bug/181930), but seems i have differences plus that one is marked as fixed...
Hope its ok to make a new report :)

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:
  kde4: Depends: kde4-core (>= 3.2~gutsy1) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: kde4-amusements (>= 3.2~gutsy1) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: kdeaccessibility-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) but it is not going to be installed

Ok thanks that seemed to solve the problem.
It would be nice though to have it clearly mentioned on the backports page that Kubuntu users should use that other repository instead...
