This is my terminal output when I try to install quanta:

Code: Select all

/home/laptop# apt-get install quanta
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  quanta: Depends: kfilereplace (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be installed
          Depends: klinkstatus (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be installed
          Depends: kommander (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be installed
          Recommends: kxsldbg (= 4:3.5.9-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
I have run"apt-get -f install", and there are no broken packages that it fixes, and I also ran"apt-get upgrade" since the 8.2 install. Is this just a temporary debian testing inconpatibility thing?

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

I read the apt-get output backwards; I just needed to disable the testing repos, so all the files would come from stable.
