Except kubuntu-desktop is in main, so I imagine just "apt-get update" is
what he needed.

fwiw, you shouldn't enable universe unless you know what you're doing, and
you _really_ shouldn't enable multiverse unless you know what you're doing
- these packages are not in the main Ubuntu distribution for reasons. 
Multiverse packages, in particular, may have license conditions you're not
prepared to agree to.
