this looks like ksudoku was built against a newer kde base than you
have installed on your system.

if in doubt, throw in a -s to see what it would do :)

my guess is that it will either (a) try to remove ksudoku, or (b)
remove/upgrade kde if possible.  you might want to check with
where you got that package and see if they have a version available
for your flavor of ubuntu, or see about rolling your own deb built
againt the proper -dev libraries (or in the worst case, compiling from
source).

i wonder how this was allowed to happen in the first place though?
perhaps klik bypasses dependencies?
