Which debian sources to use to install to Knoppix 4.0.2?

Have not done used a new knoppix release since KNX 3.7, but I am
running into a problem when I install software to version 4.0.2 that I
don't recall having with previous version. When I go to install to
Knoppix 4.0.2 using apt-get (using kgpg with this example), it seems as
if it wants to remove, upgrade, and install dependencies for an
abnormally large number of packages. And the list of dependencies is
HUGE.

In my example listed below, an apt-get install kgpp says that it wants
to remove k3b. Check out the list of extra packages to be installed,
suggested packages, and packages to be removed and updated. I serious
doubts that things will even run properly with all the recommended
changes that apt-get makes.

My only guess is that there are some Knoppix specific packages that I
need to use, and sources.list needs to be restricted to just that set
of packages. I am using the sources.list that comes with KNX 4.0.2.

Here is the output I see after doing an "apt-get install kgpg". Any one
else seeing this that can help would be greatly appreciated.
