OK, there were two things going on and klik was not at fault.

Prior to posting this thread, I had first tried to install ksudoku by
downloading the .deb and then. using dpkg -i.  While dpkg complained of
unmet dependencies, it installed the program nonetheless and the program
worked.  This created a KDE menu entry and caused the apt-get upgrade
complaints.  I did not know this at the time as I trusted that the
complaints by dpkg when attempting to install prevented that installation.

Then I installed via klik.  Klik apparently does not create a menu
entry.  clicking the .cmg file installs the program on the fly in the
/tmp branch and runs it.  You have to keep the .cmg to run the program. 
Deleting the .cmg removes the program.  Before I found this out, I
deleted the .cmg after the program started.

I fixed the problem with apt-get -f install removing the installation
done by dpkg and then put the .cmg back on the KDE desktop.  Clicking
the .cmg runs the program from /tmp/apps without installing it or its
dependencies elsewhere.  The .cmg is 88k.

BTW, the game is addicting...
