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).

Yeah, I really don't understand klik, except that it works where apt-get
didn't.  I was able to install and get ksudoku to run stably with a
single .cmg file.  Was told that klik didn't interface with the apt
database (apparently it does) and that deleting the cmg will uninstall
the app (I deleted it before I read this, and the app still works).

Mysterious stuff like this makes me feel out of control.
