Here is the command line output for 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop':

Reading package lists... 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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: k3b but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages


Here is the command line output for 'sudo apt-get install kb3':
