Installing k3b via apt

[alex]

I tried installing k3b through the Synaptic package manager route but 
wasn't sure about what supplementary packages were needed so wasted over 
3 hours tying up my phone while running a dialup modem.  There's no sign 
that k3b is anywhere in ubuntu.

I have the source file for k3b (k3b-0.12.14.tar,bz2) but can't get 
through the ./configure  phase because of missing support files.

I usually succeed installing via apt but apt-get update doesn't show 
anybody in  /etc/apt/sources.list who can give me k3b. 

Is there an address that I can add to the 'sources.list' that can supply 
k3b?
I really prefer using apt but other recommendations are welcome.
